I been in many expectacular places but this is something everybody needs to see and experience, I have the oportunity of visit the Pyramid with the help on an excelent Tour Guide name Wagih from Cairo.
Always a good visit. Nice to see the visitors up on my previous visits. It was jammed. Always good to visit. Went quad biking round the pyramids after to get a good distant view.
When you think Egypt, you think pyramids and this is the one most everyone comes to see and it does not disappoint. Show up early before the tour buses arrive!
The only Wonder of the ancient world still standing, what more can I say. It lives up to its billing. The precision of the cuts on the stone was unbelievable, and I had read about it. Bring a camera and good walking shoes. Also, get...More
Monumental experience but be very careful about the inside tunnel. Very narrow and difficult to navigate, and potentially dangerous. The effect overall is great. But no tunnel trip.
You see many pictures, read a lot about it in books and watch some videos, but it still catches you in real life.
If you have not yet done so, be sure to put The Pyramids of Giza on your TODO list! Cairo is a difficult city to navigate so I recommend getting (having ) a Guide you can trust to assist you in getting around and to...More

Don't let negative reviews put you off visiting the pyramids! It's a fantastic day out and a great lifelong memory.
After waiting in a short line to enter the Great Pyramid, I was stopped and even though I had my cameras away in my day pack, I was not allowed to enter. No issues going back in after giving my pack to our guide, and...More

Awesome experience! My guide had a deptb of knowledge of the history and showed me all around the grounds!
Put this on your bucket list! You won’t believe the size of each block until you are standing beside one.
We had a great time exploring the keops pyramid. It was said to be oldest of all the pyramids and we couldn't but be marveled by such experience. The land of the Pharaohs is indeed a spectacle!

Yo this place is lit my g 💯💯💯. Shout to joseeah for taking us here, and for the picnic at the tip of the pyramid. The cops didn't even catch us lmaoooooo 😂😂😂. Nah but for real tho this place was fun times.
Really good the visit, nice atmosphere, Sphinx, pyramids. Avoid getting local guides in the neighborhood without knowing them before as they can cost with camel rides as high as 130,00 per person. 4 times higher them other places. Nice visit is the tomb of the...More

Keops is the largest and oldest pyramid at Giza, so it's definitely a must-see. You can go inside, but we did not. We were traveling with young children and had heard it wasn't worth the extra ticket price. The advice I received is this: If...More
You can try to take a Camel to do the entire site. It is very cheap and "beduinos" are nice; there are other option to take a horse or a carriage but it dies not fit with the ambience.
Fantastic to be there and go inside. All the surrounding is magic and it is possible to take really good photos
I could not believe I was there, and so close to Cairo, the 3 pyramids and the sphinx , I could not believe the huge size of each rock, what a beautiful complex of incredible architectural and artistic work, the sand and the camels add...More
The largest pyramid. You must stand next to it to appreciate its size. Take the time to go inside and climb to the burial chamber.

Everyone goes here. The road trip is awful but it is worth when you get there. Like all antiquities in Egypt, this is one of the most incredibly things you will experience
Even though you've seen this in photos, it is incredible in person. Never felt unsafe the entire time in Egypt. People are extremely friendly and helpful. Vendors will try to sell you items, but once you look and say you're not interested they will leave...More
Quite the climb up into the center of the pyramid into the burial room with the sacophagus was a memorable experience. Highly recommended
This is such a magnificent structure and when you see it, only then you will realize that why it was considered as wonders! Perfect triangle, equal distance between the 3 pyramids and the most surprising concept that it was built around the mummy! So yes,...More
What an awesome piece of history is shared with the world. So happy we made this trip to see the Pyramids. We arranged for a private driver and guide so we could stay as long as we wanted.
Exciting too see.. Very interesting close up. Very near city life, which was strange. A beautiful piece of history
The pyramid is outstanding and the history behind it as well , to get to this are I do suggest get a tour guide that will pick you up at hotel and send you back.
I’d say that Cheops pyramid is probably the best attraction in the world. It is better than Manchu Picchu, Angkor Wat and all others. The size is enormous, it is huge! Try to come as early as possible, I was there 07.30 and was totally...More

What more can be said? These are one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Get a good guide like Tamer Mina, on Trip Advisor, who will enrich your experience.
went in the evening for a dinner at Mesa House followed by laser light show at the pyramids. a bit touristic but good for a short visit to get the essence
hald day tour was booked in viator with Egypt online tours, our guide Shema was profession ,friendly , we loved here , she gave us all information about pyramids and ancient histroy, she gave us good rate to ride camel , highly recommended
There is little point describing this attraction as it probably the most iconic historical structure on the planet. Instead I will concentrate on my experience as a tourist. We stayed at the nearby Meridien Pyramids in Giza and thus the transfer time was minimal. Our...More
THis is absolutely amazing! It took almost a lifetime to build and thousands of Egyptians worked for its completion. It is truly a magnificent structure.
This was my first visit to Cairo and the Keops Pyramid. As it is this pyramid is visible from the highway. When we came near the Monument it stood up huge against bright skyline. It made all of us wonder as to how the ancient...More
Breath taking! Should be seen by everyone. Paid extra to go inside to the tomb. If you are claustrophobic at all not a good idea to go in the pyramid.
Overwhelming when you think of all the logistics of building these giants! There was so much more than just the three main pyramids.
It's an otherworldly experience that can't be put into words. Beautiful and crazy to know how ancient Egyptian built something like this.

We visited the Pyramid with a guide. We did pay extra to go into the Pyramid. It was a very tight space to make your way up. Some what hot and stuffy. This was in February. If you don't like confined spaces don't go inside.
My wife and I visited the pyramid with a tour guide and walked around for over 2 hours. We did not go into the tomb because the line was about 2 hours long. There are a lot of people trying to sell things. Be careful...More

A great hestorical location like no other location I have visited just fabulous to move 7000 years back
This is obviously a must see in Egypt, or even perhaps the reason why you went altogether. Just make sure you're prepared for the experience. Everyone there is a hustler, trying to sell you an overpriced trinket, take an overpriced photo of you on camel,...More
I like it! Touristic Place and nice place for families also! I recommend it for people to visit it!!
Take the camel ride to the view point. That's what makes it fun. Plus you can climb up the pyramid a bit. Don't miss the restaurant overlooking the Sphinx and the pyramids
Rode camels, took pictures, knowledgeable tour guide...You must do this at least once in your life. I will be going back with better cameras lol.
If you go to Cairo you must see the Pyramids, they are just fantastic to see. the only problem is the Egyptian sellers and the people who give the Camel & Horse rides, they are at you all the time which spoils it, you are...More

you need to see it. no pictures or movies justify the sheer scale, size and beauty of the pyramids. not to miss the Sphinx of course
Love the pyramids so much. It was amazing, my tour guides Mimo and Maro were very helpful and gave much information!
Thankfully, it rained the night before so all the smog was knocked out of the air. It was a gorgeous day with blue skies. It was surreal to be standing next to the pyramids I have dreamed about visiting!
The great Pyramids of giza is a huge 3 buildings that will make you amazed when you see it the greatness of Pharaohs and how they was very workable and creative.
Awesome trip.. the top of my bucket list.Egypt Direct tours made it a very enjoyable trip..thanks to excellent guide Mr Nasser.
You have to see the Pyramids if you come to Egypt. Taxi and Uber are available for a modest price to get you there, unless you are part of an organized tour. You will be awestruck by the engineering, the sheer size, and the beauty.
This is the largest of the 3 major pyramids of Giza. My friend had been waiting more than 60 years to see the pyramids and cried when she saw the pyramid of Cheops.
My goal in seeing the pyramids was to get an overview. We had a private guide who understood that we did not want alot of explaining. There is an entry fee into the precincts of the Pyramids. We saw the Solar boat, which requires its...More
Go there, but be prepared to fight to keep your money. Make an agreement with a guide, climb the toombs and take a tour around the pyramids. They never cease to fascinate.

What an impressive site. It's very busy with lots of people so must be careful climbing on the pyramid. Must have extra ticket to go inside the pyramid.

Try climbing to the top --- It was worth it, in my opinion. This is the most famous of the pyramids and it is simply breath taking! The camel ride with photo op was also pretty fun.
The Keops Pyramid is the oldest and the largest of the pyramids of Giza.It is also the pyramid which is more or less still intact!!
Go here if you want to see man's single greatest structure. It is the only remaining left of the 7 wonders of the world. Climb on it if you want, go inside if you want. Humbled, Yes I am
Every Cairo visitor must visit pyramids...amazing!! You get to learn a lot about Egyptian History...
the history of all the world is here in cairo a great building with amazing view its cheap to get the ticket and u can reach it easily by taxi or uber
The big pyramid is so busy and has a circus-like environment with kids jumping on stones and guards yelling at people to get down. Go the other ones and get a close-up look. Also, walk or ride an animal to the far side where you...More
It is amazing that this has been so well preserved. The surrounding area was, of course, very touristy as people make their living from the tourists. It didn’t detract from the awe of seeing one of the wonders of the world.
Going inside the pyramid is not for the claustrophobic. You are in a squat position with your nose almost touching your knees. It is quite steep going down. But to be able to say you were under the pyramid is pretty cool.
I visited Egypt with an archaeological interest as I am an archaeologist who is specializing in Egyptology. The best moment to go by far is April-May. My instagram account is : soniapbl Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any question. Cheers!
The sight of the pyramids was of course fascinating and well worth the trip. However, the amount of animal abuse I witnessed there was very sad. Some horses looked skinny and barely could pull the wagons up the hill because they were tired from exhaustion....More

Get there early morning to avoid the crowds. It is worth every dollar to get the ticket to get inside the pyramid. Having a good tour guide/ local travel agency is the key for a great visit.
I visit the pyramids everytime i go to Cairo the site is marvellous and breath taking. Keep wondering how it was built to such perfection
I've always wanted to see the Pyramids & it was amazing to have seen them on my birthday! I wasn't disappointed! The hotel we was in was located right opposite them which was a bonus. They are even more memorizing from up close. We entered...More
Waste of too much money. The technology is 35 years old and looks it. It's almost amateurish. And the narration is so melodramatic it is laughable.
It was my whole life a dream to be in Egypt and see this spectacular and admirable pyramid. This incredible man made structure that has been made for almost 4500 years ago. The stones had been brought from mountains of another city and had been...More
Great pyramid with great history and wonders but the inside visit is not worth the stairs walking effort.
We visited on Sat which was very busy. We saw so much with Mina guiding us through the crowds and to the best locations.
You cannot go to Cairo without visiting this place. I hired a private guide which was worthwhile as she gave me lots of information and took me to all the best places. There is a small museum close by worth a visit and I also...More

We enjoyed this visit, with great guide service, we learn about Egypt culture and we enjoyed the camel ride
A must to visit. Outside the city and requires a tour guide. At least a half day tour. Should combine with a visit to Memphis.
The Pyramids are magnificent, very hard to believe they were built so long ago. they are one special place that people need to see in their lifetime.
Winter time will be a good time to visit the pyramid , but you should visit the Egyptian museum first and then visit the pyramid , You will need about 2 hours to see the pyramid , and enjoy the surrounding area, You walk in...More
One of the best experience in Cairo, I really enjoyed it. you simply cant believe the pyramid was build more than 4000 years ago with basic tools. Make sure to buy a separate ticket to get inside the Pyramid, they only sell a limited amount...More
I enjoyed to visit this great and beautiful place where you can smell and enjoy this great historic place. I enjoyed also riding horses and camels. You can enjoy also the sun while hearing the story of thousands years ago about this great place.
Fabulous!!!!! The highlight of my trip was riding a camel on the Giza plateau. The scene from the rear of the pyramids was breath taking.
Ilike it I go in 2016 was happy I hope I travel to egypt again and it's. Cool really,and that was the end .

The largest of the Pyramids it makes the visit to Egypt so worthwhile. What more can you say about a wonder of the world
This one was also included in my tour, absolutely worth every dime. Inexpensive to go visit, but its something you will never forget. After all you are exploring a monument that has been there more than 5,000 years.
How can you not visit this world landmark? Nothing compares to actually seeing this monument with your own eyes up close.
I think that the greatest pleasure of seeing this largest pyramid is getting your mind around the scale of it all. I enjoyed the surrounding activities of camels and horse carts. The walk inside to the Kings Tomb is compelling but once inside it is...More

Was on my bucket list. We did quad around the pyramids and we went inside the Kheops Pyramid. Not a lot of tourist.
The feeling of being there cannot be explained with words. It's like entering a different world. A place not to be missed!
At least once in your life you must go and see he Pyramids. Dress in light clothes. It can get very hot.

Truely an ancient wonder and engineering marvel of ancient as well as our time. speechless when i saw the pyramid from my hotel window at night after reaching Cairo. Since childhood was in my list to visit.
Going inside the Great Pyramid is a must! But you have to be comfortable with narrow cramped spaces- bending is required along the passages.
Its the biggest building you'll ever see built by man thousands of years ago without any hydrolics or cranes. You'll stare at it and say how in the world did they build this thing!!!
The owner of the camel was super fast and efficient photographer. Every shot was great. Enjoyed the camel ride.
Interesting and knowledgeable guide can make a huge difference in your perspective towards these sites. Our guide Teto (Atiya) was one
Very interesting the Solar Ship Museum at the side of the grand Cheops Pyramid. Could have a better museography but the ship restoration is very interesting and well done.
No doubt gotta see the pyramids whenever u go to Egypt even for second or third time , i wont feel bothered.
Only after you visited Egypt, you could believe this genius product was actually created by human intelligence.
The Giza pyramids, including the Keops Pyramid, are simply one of the wonders of the world and not to be missed. I would recommend hiring the services of a guide or reading about the history because this will add to the visit. The pyramids are...More

Such a quiet open space in the middle of a huge city. History all around you makes you feel amazing. The bad part is all the camel, horse rides, and the vendors.
The pyramids never grow old - always interesting and majestic even after my 5th visit. A hike into the burial chamber is something you've got to do once in your life.
Positives: + Great opportunity to experience ancient history + Official staff are courteous + Reasonably priced even for tourists Improvements: - The so-called tour operators are forceful and rude - The moving around the place needs better options, like an official tour bus with a...More

It is a very busy place with a lot of people comes towards you for a horse ride or camel ride the key word bargain 😁. The place it self was amazing.
You simply cannot visit Cairo or Egypt for that matter and not make a visit to the pyramids. They are simply marvelous. Can get a bit crowded but definitely worth the trip!
If you're visiting Abu Simbel, Aswan and Luxor, it's better to skip the inside tour and take the camel ride around the Pyramids instead. From what I gathered, there's nothing and all dark inside the Pyramid whereas the other temples offer much more. The camel...More

Impossible to come to Egypt and not visiting this wonder of the world. It's impressive 2 300 000 blocs of stone built 4 500 years ago and still standing.
You read about it, you hear about it, but when you come, you just are amazed by its size and its age. There are no words to say about it, just must see it. In case you are afraid of something - don't. We had...More
The pyramid is the largest and is certainly impressive from the outside but I would skip the entry inside as it is long, cramped and with no head room for large portions, expensive and there is nothing inside other than a limestone tomb. I would...More

Truly amazing feat of engineering, especially because of the limited technology available at the time they were built
Take the one hour camel trip around the pyramids...you wont be dissapointed. The guide will take pictures of you that are what adventures and dreams are made of.
We had an amazing experience at the pyramids! I would recommend visiting the pyramid without a doubt. A little chaotic on the way in with the hustle and the many tourists and locals but once your in it's fine. We had the option of riding...More
You must see. It cost 100 Egyptian Pound ($5). Try to walk. Ignore the tour guide. You can take a horse for the same amount as well..

As expected, the pyramids of Giza are simply stunning. We visited at a great time, few tourists and no long cues. The camel ride around the pyramids is worth the few bucks to get some great photos. Don't bother buying souvenirs near the pyramids/Sphinx, you...More

It’s an ancient how they put up the pyramids so it’s a wonderful experience to be able to see the pyramids and witness these awesome architectural masterpieces. The horse and caravan rides are too expensive and not worth it in my opinion. You can walk...More
This place is unbelievably amazing. We bought the ticket that allows you to go inside the area, then to the great pyramid and also inside the boat museum. All 3 for 400 LE
Our guide took us to the Keops Pyramid and the Egyptian museum. We greatly enjoyed both - so much ancient history that we are having trouble remembering all that we have seen on our recent trip!
Must visit a great ancient monument. Friendly people, guide. Nice weather. Nice to know about the history behind pyramid
Standing in the shadow of the giant size of the great Pyramids or climbing up to the entrance, you will be certainly in awe of the majestic ancient Egyptian civilization.
Best place ever you should visit. Here you will visit the 3 pyramids and also the great Sphinx. You should visit the great pyramid from inside. It may be a little tough for some people but if you can do it you should 👍👍
It was overwhelming to see the magnificent pyramids!! I am still in awe and lost for words! It was an amazing site to experience it. I will definitely go back again . Though we had bad experience , one man pretending to be working in...More

Excellent sites with great atmosphere. Amaizing people who will guide you through the pyramids tour.
You should visit the great pyramid during winter time as it is less dry and more cooling to travel around . You can do a inside the pyramid tour but it will cost you plus it is a very tough journey to enter the tomb😭
So many conspiracy theories, the base blocks are hard enough but then the layers get higher . Built over 4500 years ago , blood sweat and mathematical , engineering brilliance . Thats why its holds its rightful place as one of the 7 wonders of...More
The Keops Pyramid was the tallest Pyramid ever built but with the loss of the peak cap stone, has become the second tallest pyramid now. Those interested can explore the insides by buying an additional ticket but be aware of the narrow passages, possible claustrophobia...More
The history and beauty of this special place is unparalleled. Can’t miss it! Get a private guide and avoid the smelly camels. The Solar Boat aide tour is very worth while also.
2.3 million 3+ ton blocks constructed over 4500 years ago and was the tallest building in the world for 3800+ years, and we still do not know all its secrets. An Iconic must see.
This thing is nearly old as dirt but it never fails to impress. It's even cooler than the one in Vegas.
This was without a doubt one of the most amazing experiences of all my travels worldwide. The awe you will feel once you understand (or don't understand) how these pyramids were built will leave you feeling amazed and no doubt wondering how the heck they...More
This is a must visit. It’s something you must see in reality not in photos. Entering the Pyramid is a unique experience but you must be ready to bend your back in some areas where you can’t walk upright. Don’t expect to see much inside...More

A visit to the Pyramids is a must once you arrive in cairo,along with a visit to Old Cairo, the Egyptian Musuem ,and other local shops and resturants
This was a very interesting sight to visit. Learning about the ancient Egyptians was very remarkable and intriguing. The local tour guides were confident and express themselves well enough in the English Language. Many different pyramid structures are close to each other each with their...More
We walked around most of the base of this pyramid, skilfully avoiding the hawkers as we went. We then used the ticket we purchased at the entry point to climb up on the pyramid and go inside. The little sketch on the sign just below...More

We really enjoy the pyramid and the experience is worth every cent. Unfortunately guides are not allowed inside but the way up is great fun! We recommend this site.
This is what you have wanted to see all your life. If possible, try to spend two hours to three hours here. You will want to view it from several locations. We had a car which helped. Be aware of what time of day you...More

What more can be said that others haven't done so before me? The place is amazing, especially at dawn and dusk.
The landscape is beautiful. We really got a sense of it’s vastness while riding camels with Fatma, our guide. Camel ride is a must!

Do not talk to anybody around the Pyramids. Get an official ticket on the entrance which is not expensive and take the tour on foot. Do not hire any guides, they're useless.
An awe inspiring place to visit. Standing among the pyramids it is hard to imagine the construction. Our guide explained the whole process to us. I highly recommend you do this on a small group tour
Biggest of the pyramids. IF you are limited with time, this would be the one you should enter. It is quite a climb however well worth the effort. From the outside the pyramid looks rough on the edges, totally different from the inside. It is...More

I couldn't believe my eyes I was there! Looking at the pyramids with my own eyes alive was absolutely amazing
Visiting this iconic site is an experience which escapes words! It is incredible...Massive beyond belief, the pyramids defy all expectations. Tip - Go in the morning! It gets hot very quickly. The site opens at 8 am.
The pyramids were on my bucket list and they did not disappoint. The photos touching the tip are a tourist ‘must do’.
We were there very early in the morning before crowd starts so It was a fantastic journey to be inside. You need to wear something you wouldn't care and be comfy. Because at some part we were crawling. Also if you are clostrophobicI don't recommend...More

Beautiful from the outside, but if you're not in good shape, don't get in the pyramid. Some people are about to faint cause it's very small and stressful and there is not much to see in the end.
Can’t complain about the Pyramids of Giza, but the experience was ruined because of all the annoying hagglers! They just won’t leave you alone to enjoy the ancient sites!
The feeling one gets when they stand in front of the great pyramids in Giza is an overwhelming feeling of standing in front of 5000 years of history. One must visit the kings chamber inside the great pyramid.
What a place we visited ! Simply amazing 👌 please visit during sunset or sunrise . Open between 9-4 . Horse riding was great ( need to bargain )
Must not be missed. The camel ride is cheap, safe, and unforgettable.Being close to, and actually walking on the Great Pyramid !!!
One of the important attraction must to see it in the world , it’s open area and you can use the horse by £150 Egyptian
You can get there without a guide but unless you want to walks miles between the pyramids you will need to hire a horse carriage or guide. Not much inside to see, but you should go inside anyway for the experience.
You have to go inside, it's an unreal experience. The size of this pyramid and the capacity of the ancient Egyptians to build such a monument is incomprehensible.
great place to visit, should never be missed. Peaceful, beautiful and unparalled. try to take a horse draun carrage, I did and enjoyed it.

Good to take English speaking guide . Go in the morning. you can spend good time. Better to be part of group or if you can afford take buggy ride . Most buggy riders speak good englist and knows good photo spots.
You know when you arrive somewhere that you read about and see in the movies and then your there...no words...go there very safe

There is already a Cheops pyramid option in Giza so why the need for it to be mentioned in Cairo is something I dont understand.

Visited in September 2017 with my wife and friends Even went inside the pyramid Is just something to see with your own eyes before passing away.
the side is just great to see and think how the where made. it help's if you have a tour guide.You can ride on a camel, horse or carriage if you like and you see all from a different angel. it is a great experience
This is living ancient history you can't experience from a classroom! My guide was Haitham Mustafa,ask for him!

to see one of the ancient wonders in person is a very special experience! I would advise getting a guide as I did on my visit! take time to enjoy the site and all its wonders!
The area around the pyramid is home to the most aggressive trinket salespeople in the world. Once you pass the gauntlet and can walk among and on the pyramids it is amazing. They're big and amazing.
A must see in life. Gives you perspective on how advanced and intelligent this ancient civilisation was. Worthwhile going with a guide, it's so much more interesting and, the air conditioned vehicle helps in the intense heat of summer.

definitely a wonder of the world! recommend hiring a horse if you like riding or a carriage if you want more comfort...can be very hot on summer days so go on a cool day as you will be waling a lot...
One of the 7 wonders of the world. . Visit the pyramids in the early morning especially in summertime and avoid camels and horses. . It's preferable to be part of a group and be accompanied by a local certified guide.
First of all you have to go there with the agency from your hotel because if you go alone there they mug you off there is two tours short and the long one with the camels you half to make a deal before you go...More
The Cheops Pyramid together with others at Giza are just awesome. Constructed 4,600 years, they were a humungous engineering enterprise. We tried to go into the Pyramid through the narrow corridor but gave up due to the crowd and humidity. The solar boat museum on...More
its really a wonder.. Amazing huge pyramids. You should go and see it live. We took a guide with horse and toured around the pyramids.. They told us about the history and all. A must visit place
Words can't describe how amazing it was to see and actually go inside the Great Pyramid. To see it in person is breath taking. You see the pyramids on TV and in in books, but until you are physically standing in front of them is...More
Years and years ago, you had to park really far out and walk a huge distance to get to this magnificent wonder. Now, you can park almost right next to it! Going inside is a whole other experience. A definite must-see when visiting the enchanting...More
It takes your breath away! Majestic. A site that you can smell history through it and reflect on ancient civilization! A must see.
Not too many people around - I expected more - you could get shots of you almost alone by the pyramid. An amazing architectural feat. Not sure if I'd pay the £9 to go inside again - very hot and cramped - good to do...More

Magnificent. Really worth to step onto egypt for this. Student price (half price) for ticket was available with student ID. 80LE entrance and extra 200LE to enter inside the pyramid. Don't miss the night show. It's good. Be aware of the shop keeper and "guide"...More
Keops pyramid at Giza plateau is one of the coolest locations to visit in Cairo. The light and sound show was interesting but not amazing. Definitely recommend the camel rides. I would also recommend visiting in October. June through August is way too hot.
As with many things in Egypt, this busy tourist attraction is chaotic and not particularly well run. It's also fairly poorly looked after with motorists able to drive very close to these amazing historic spectacles. However, putting this all to one side, the pyramids are...More
The best tourist place was the pyramids! They take you on a camel/ horse and carriage to tour the pyramids. Amazing experience! Would highly recommend you to visit the pyramids.
The pyramids are a must visit when in Egypt. We went inside as well, which was amazing to see however it was boiling hot.
Keops Pyramid is a must see at Cairo, althought i thought it was bigger it is still impressive to see that kind of human work for centurys
LOVED IT AND AMAZING FOR PICTURES . I would recommend visiting the pyramids all of them in giza . You cant visit egypt without going to them 😎
Truely a great and enjoyable adventure! We toured with camels, and a great host who guided us through the plateau explaining the history. We really enjoyed the experience riding the camels. We did get several side sales pitches along the way but our guide helped...More

It is the place you should be there and inside. The glory of ancient Egyptian history where you can see and touch the real miracle.

Anything that I will say about the pyramids means nothing. Really...the first prototipes of spaceships, I like to believe so. See further,no matter what it was there it was something that we can't cope with in 2017... that's why It will be probably best thing...More
Live History! You have the option of entering a tight path in the pyramid, in which you have to pay a fee. You can also climb a few pyramid stones to take great pictures.
Awesome to see! While rather warm in July, it was great not to have the place too crowded. Nice trade😉
After admiring these pyramids and sphinx from afar I am glad that I made the effort to visit Egypt. The only risk I came across were the very active hawkers and various scams for unwary tourists. Best to use and be escorted by a local...More

Wonder in ancient time and still standing ,very fascinating.We been in july,it was very hot but when you go there you dont feel anyting but fascinated
This is one of the few absolutly must-see locations in the world. It was so impressive, a dream come true.
If you are in Egypt the Giza pyramids are a must! It's is a 30 min ride from Cairo city (depending on traffic, which normally is a lot) you can go by bus or taxi. Bring water because the water they sell there is expensive...More

Inside the great pyramid was the highlight of my trip. It is steep and a bit small, so take your water. The bottom of the sarcophagus is all that remains, and it isn't decorated like later tombs, but the history of the place is amazing.
Such a majestic monolith. Take the camel ride around to the boat house. You can imagine you are riding in from the desert
Loved the place, the view, the greatness of Pyramids... As a traveller, you should walk up to the Pyramids rather than hiring any camel / horse / cart... it is not that far away from the parking, just because of the heat you need to...More

The pyramids and sphinx were unbelievable! Definitely go with a guide to guard against the numerous hustlers. We visited in November in the afternoon. The weather was pleasant; however mornings could be better due to limited shade. The sphinx was absolutely amazing.
We very much enjoyed visiting and felt very safe. I have seen many of the world's wonders and this was truly one of the most amazing!
Full of history and majesty, the pyramids are a good site to visit. Makes you feel that the old Egyptian civilization was not from this planet. A masterpiece design, structure and technique wise.
Of course, an absolutely recognisable icon. But standing next to just one of the huge blocks making up this huge edifice just makes you realise the grand scale. Unmissable.
It was much bad with the people around this area you will not have a time to look at the stones cause the poor people around this place and they would like just to take many of you... You will never enjoy it as long...More

A must see if you visit Egypt . It is better with Rany our guide to keep away hustlers etc.. very memorable
Have visited the main pyramids twice and both times it has been very hot and very busy. Amazing experience though and everyone should see them.
We have visited Giza on 13th of this June.Nice to see this world wonder.Six pyramids.Khufu pyramid is the biggest one.146 meters height.wow experience.
I love it. This is our 2nd time here and it was like the first time. We went inside all the way to the bottom. We loved it. You pay an entrance fee but it is nothing. Prices are very affordable
Entry fee to the Pyramid is LE200 and must be purchased at the ticket office outside Giza plateau. There is a small climb to the entrance inside the Pyramid, then a 20 metre walk to the first climb where you have to stoop your back...More

This is the most magical place on earth! I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Egypt...
Excellent experience, i definitely recommend visiting the Keops Pyramid. I always dreamed of making my way to tour the pyramids and finally my family and i made it!
This has always been one of my top spots in the world to see. The history the culture...it was such a humbling experience I'll never forget it. 💯👍🏼❤️
You cannot really compare this to any other experience in life because it is truly breathtaking. I could stay there all day just staring at the pyramids in amazement.
It's the greatest construction in history it's like a miracle define the old Egyptian knowldege that surpassed even the modern technology but it can be too hot in summer
i was speechless when i saw the pyramid from my hotel window at night after reaching Cairo. t say it was amazing is an understatement. i actually went all the way up to the burial chamber of King Khufu's Pyramid aka the Great Pyramid. it...More

It is huge! To physically touch something built 5000 years ago astonishes me. I did not tour the inside of the Pyramid as most everyone says there is nothing really to see. I do recommend a camel ride though ... that's Egypt.
It is very important to understand and read about this wonder so that you can enjoy the magnificence of this wonder
Standing in front, it is overwhelming. Not just the site, but the touts. You need to wander back a long way to get the whole thing in a photo. An extra ticket can get you access inside. The touts have the usual camel rides and...More

I felt overwhelmed when I visited the Giza pyramids. It's incredible to be in such a beautiful place with so much history.
First time visiting Egypt and this is breathtaking. Good history, the guide was very helpful and knows a lot about the pyramids
The pyramids are great place to visit, do not miss it if you are in egypt. You can see the ancient and historic heritage. You can also ride horses and camels. The locals will give you good ideas for taking great photos
For 200 EP you can enter the pyramid, its a tough process of almost climbing, but you get to say you were there.

The Pyramid is impressive when you get closer to it, you feel like nothing and imagine this has been perfectly built thousands years ago. But the people selling camel and horse tour are really annoying, never leave you alone.
! Just wonderful! The whole trip was an amazing experience, and the pyramids were the best closure. Can't wait to come back!
I highly recommend you going inside the pyramid if you can. Be careful though if you are tall, older, or even have small children since it is quite confined. I am short and still hit my head several times. Make sure to pay extra to...More
It's one of the wonders of the world, ancient and new and it stands tall since the last 5000 years. You have to admire the Egyptians for the constructing one of the greatest structures.

We considered ourselves well-travelled until we stood alongside these otherworldly monuments. But for the knowledge that countless slaves must have suffered mightily in their construction, one could almost take pride in the achievement of man to build these mountains of stone.

So glad to have seen the pyramids in person - better than you could ever imagine! Cairo is a mad place but it is worth the madness to visit here...
Going inside is a must as I couldn't get over how straight the walls and chambers were considering this was build thousands of years ago and my house in Melbourne not one wall is straight and it's only fifty years old

Keops Pyramid, the largest of the three Great Oyramids, was built for the father of Kifre and the grandfather of Makarinos for whom the other two pyramids were built.
Very impressive indeed. We didn't choose to enter but were pleased we could clamber over the blocks, to some extent on the lower reaches of the pyramid, just below the main entrance.
The place is nice. However, beware of guides and locals. Just follow the normal ticketing route to enter without paying too much attention to guides and locals there.
If you visit Cairo, it is compulsory to visit the Pyramids. They are amazing. You can travel in time to see how the Egyptian used to live.

It is what it is,I walked around it,the stink from animals was overpowering.the noise from hawkers and locals racing their horses/camels did detract from the experience,that is you are an animal lover.
One thing that leaves one flabbergasted as to how people some over 5,000 years age make such structures.
Wow. Go enjoy this attraction. Stand in awe Climb inside to the kings tomb. Ride the camels around the back and take some incredible pictures from the back side (almost no tourists so it's just you and the pyramid. The camels top off the experience
Pyramids were amazing! Unfortunately, as through much of the tourist sites in Egypt, we were hassled a lot.

The Khufu pyramid is the largest of the 3 in the desert and it is indeed an imposing sight. You can actually enter and descend below the pyramid into the chamber!
Amazing creation in human history. Its really one of the 7th wonder & can believe once you visit physically.
Defies all engineering knowledge to date and obviously much more impressive considering when it was built!
Wondered how such good engineering was done thousands of years ago. A worldwide attraction. But an effort needed to protect the ancient treasure and beautification of surrounding.

When viewed Pyramids directly so truly amazing and incredible. The building the tomb of Pharaoh is very grand stands on a pile of boulders were arranged neatly above a pyramid-shaped. Miraculously manufacture in time thousands of years ago.

Very impressive. We took the tour inside as well and it was worth for the experience of it to be inside a pyramid.
Nice experience to see it, but you spent like 5 minutes watching and that;s actually all. First Cheops, then you can see Sphinx.
Excellent, highly recommendable, the greatest pyramid built 4,500 years ago, and you can get inside to the core of its tomb, unforgettable to me
The pyramids themselves are everything you will have expected. They are a must see in Cairo. Unfortunately the experience is not the best. The tourist trade has vastly reduced in the last years, so be prepared to be mobbed by hawkers trying to sell you...More

still encaptures me when i saw its gigantic beauty.Not to be missed really a 7th wonder.The camel ride to pyramids was the best but be sure to bargain a little,they tend to charge a lot from tourists .
It's incredible to be able to touch the cold limestone of this pyramid and to be able to take a few steps towards the entrance.
Great place to see & witness from such vicinity. Truly mesmerizing to be around such 3000-3500 yrs of history
Crap sight in a crap neighborhood. No explanations. Just a 3 dimensional shape in bad shape. Sitting on a flea-bitten camel at least gets you a good snapshot.

How can you go to Egypt and not do the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza. Try to enjoy the whole area and don't let the beggars, camel "jockeys", and such ruin the experience.

I've been to Giza with my family a few months ago and all I can say about it is that the pyramids are amazing and definitely worth to see!
Words cannot describe your visit to the Great Pyramid..it must be seen in person. Go now. So few foreign tourist are in Cairo now.
Keops is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids at Giza and you cannot fail to be impressed by this impressive feat of engineering. You can you up to the Robber's entrance but no further.
well, its a breath taking when you first see the pyramids and imagine how they built it without any equipments .. its one of a kind !!!!
We Took a tour of the Keops pyramid and I must say When you look at the pyramids. The sight is awesome.

Just incredible. Every time I visit the pyramids I am amazed. One question is always there - how on earth did they build this?!
There are no words that fully encompass what it is like in this vast mausoleum. It's like being in a machine.
You can't come to Egypt and not see the pyramids. I do think that you need to spend a good part of your morning or afternoon there to appreciate the three pyramids and the Sphinx. Bring some good walking shoes.
Stunning monument, nice people and in February not too hot. Recommend to see some documentaries/read up before you go, but amazing to experience.
camel rides arent cheap but a must do... it is busy and you have to find an empty spot to get that photo

The size of Pyramid can not be appreciated unless you visit it. I was surprised to see how big size stones (more than 10 ton each) were placed one after another in that ancient time.
Very nice place to visit, but beware of different kind of people who want to do this and that for you and later demand for payment. Best thing to do is to not speak to anybody there :)

Lovely place to come.. so much history It is fascinating how big the pyramids are We loved it and our tour guide was funny and informative
It's best to hire a guide to help you and they can arrange a camel ride. You can climb the pyramid a little ways up and go inside.
We are self-serve travelers, so we refused the offers of a guide. In retrospect, we should have hired one, just to keep the other guides from following us around.
You must enter to the main chamber if the pharaoh Ramses II, don't forget to get the ticket at the main entrance as it is another entrance fee. I would recommend to go to the Giza Pyramids in the afternoon it is cooler and sunny...More

great, huge, impressive... can't miss it if you're in Cairo. about an hour drive from central cairo. You will have to pay to enter the pyramid grounds but it's very visible from the area around it.
I guess any trip to Cairo is incomplete without a visit to the Pyramids at Giza. The Cheops pyramids is the largest one in Giza and is definitely a must see.
Pyramids in Giza are enchanting . Light & sound show must see. Visit the interiors of the pyramids too during daytime with a guide.

The most important thing to do!!! You must to book a day tour to the pyramids to have the whole experience. you can find some good tour guides but be careful to book and see the programm before you book it!
Tour with 'On the go Tours' made this way better. Not sure how good it would be to see without a tour!
They offer a taxi to visit the pyramids in a good price. When arrives there you are FORCED to pay 50 euro (I paid 40 euro + 200 Egyptian pound) to see them by camel (you can go walking but the man do not allow...More
No picture can give it justice, must see it is awesome, it is the only one to remain largely intact Visit the interior is in my opinion optional - nothing much inside
Definitely a must see! Just the sheer size makes this pyramid viewable for miles away, but up close it is so huge. You can go inside for an additional price, which we did. Enjoy this marvel!
It is definitely worth paying the bi extra to go inside the heart of the larger pyramid. These ancient wonders wont disappoint.
What an amazing treasure! The Egyptian pyramids are the most amazing things on this planet! Unbelievable what these people created more than 3,000 years ago!
We went to the Pyramids on Saturday morning- we must have arrived at around 10.15am. Perfect timing as it wasn't that busy at this time! We bought out tickets went straight through security- walked to the 1st pyramid/ must say it's breathtaking- the entire family...More
Great experience visiting this world treasure. Have low denominations ready for aggressive trinket sales person that frequent the pyramids.
After 8 years living in Cairo the Pyramids is an amazing experience. I recommend visit the place with a local guide (pre arranged) in order to know everything about this magic place and to be safe from the hundreds of sellers

Keops pyramid was very impressive. But enviroment was very dirty and everybody wants Money for everything.
This Pyramid is so great that you will be standing still in front of it for some time wondering how had they built that almost 5000 years ago!! Entering inside it is a lifetime experience. Imagine you reach the heart of that great pyramid and...More
Unbelievable and breath taking,just to imagine how the Pyramid was built thousands of years ago, and still stands very very strong. Amazing
Obviously there is none to be made from these phenomenal structures and the locals do it, I did not enter the Pyramids as i think my visit to Cappadocia's underground cities were much more interesting, however, I did have a Camel ride which was quire...More
very nice, very interested , biutoful super Egyptian Pyramid. I hope cambeck there . Egypt is suuuper
I recommend, for a foreigner, it is very helpful to have a guide who has studied Egyptology. Correct interpretations of inscriptions and hieroglyphics make the visit a rewarding experience.
It's easy to see why this is listed as one of the great wonders of the world. Standing at it's based you can't help but feel humbled by the size of this pyramid and the engineering that went in to it. Our guide told us...More
Nice but be careful with the guys that are asking you to help they always end up asking for money. But beside that it was beautiful they still need to clean up some areas piled with empty plastic bottles
a tourist generally can do this in half a day easily by walking. if you need to speed up then rent a horse buggy or horse ride who will come with you and wait. No real need for a guide. You can get details of...More

i have not got too much to say, The Fame of the place together with its historical facts are enough. However, the only thing i can say that you know nothing about Human`s history if you did it make it to Giza Pyramids and Egypt
Pictures don't do these justice. Amazing site to see. The camel rides were also a fun way to view the pyramids.
Took a horse ride out to this beautiful viewpoint to look back at all the pyramids, we paid 100 Egyptian pounds each, 300 total for the 3 of us. Entry fee must have been 40-80 pounds. A total must see.
you have not been to Egypt if you will not visit the pyramids, for a better vista for picture taking you must take the camel ride.
The mere sight of these mastodons is enough to give you the chills. I didn't go inside; however enjoyed the light and vision show. An absolute must see
No visit to Egypt is complete without a visit to then Keops Pyramid. A true manifestation of the greatness of the Pharaohs.
I have visited the pyramids site many times before, and still being there never seizes to amaze me. This time I visited with my kids with me, eleven and eight, for them it was also reaching the same conclusion that the pyramids do remain to...More
The sheer size of it will amaze you. 300 million stones. I am still feeling its magic. A must visit place - the Great Pyramids of Giza.

The place is incredible and worth the visit. However, be prepared to face countless sellers trying harassing you. Best way to get there is with a private driver, and tell him you're not interested in buying anything.

I highly recommend using horses. A round wheel ride. To walk, see and touch objects that you have read about, seen photos of, watched on television and in movies in breathtaking. Great photo ops.
The pyramids remain enigmatic. They will take your breath away and you will be in awe for days. It's scary for younger children to go inside but if you can, it's worth the experience. Go to see the solar boat, that is just amazing!
What amazing thing that?! How the ancient Egyptians made the pyramids! How long to finish that job? Who is the architect Eng. & civil Eng. ?! I like it❤️ I dind't enter inside the pyramid but I drive a camel😉, take many fake pictures...just take...More
Definitely the most anticipated part of our trip to Cairo was the visit to the pyramids. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Going inside the pyramid and walking up/ down through a narrow pathway was an exciting journey. Kids definitely loved it.

It's a must visit for everyone. The architecture and history is worth knowing. Very well kept place and well connected
This is the frist time for me to visit the keops Pyramid i really like it its amazing time my dream come true
Incredible experience in the Keops pyramid. However, pay attention to all people trying to sell you something...
when I enter the gate with my wife, we had to stop and take a breath because the view was magnificent. I used to say it is the same as the pictures or the TV but I was wrong it was unbelievable
This is a must see for anyone spending time in Cairo. It is easy to get to and does not need to take all day.
The Keops Pyramid is also known as the "Great Pyramid". Its name simply derives from the fact that it is the biggest of the three standing on the Giza Plateau. Although one can enter all pyramids, this is the one that is open for tourists...More

Get there early and prepare yourself for the camel, horse and donkey ride workers. Worth it all to see these amazing structures. And consider a guide who can add so much to the trip (we used South Sinai Travel and had a wonderful experience).
You can watch what was done 5000 years ago and you can just wonder how it is done. There are 2 entrances, for Egyptians, very crowded, and for the tourists which is not so crowded. There are a lot of people who sell some souvenirs,...More
purchase the ticket to go inside the pyramids...the climb was a good workout and worth it. Interior was not what I expected at all.
This was my first reaction when I saw it: I thought that was bigger, but it's anyway very nice and interesting to see. A must if you are in Cairo, even for a business trip.

If you have strong legs, I do recommend that you enter the pyramid. It's just a long narrow stairway with an empty sarcophagus in the chamber at the end. No paintings in the chamber.
When in Egypt, you can't skip this! And for little money ride a camel down to the sphinx. The handlers are polite and will take great care of you.
It is really wondering how tons of stone block placed one over another. You must go early to have time to visit total 9 pyramids.
The Giza pyramids! What a fantastic sight. We could enter the Cheops pyramid and go - well you have to crouch for 39 meters in an upward sloping tunnel of roughly 1x1 meters before reaching the Grand Gallery which continues in an upward slope for...More

The 2nd pyramid on the Giza plateau. You can see at the top the original covering that would of been completely covering the exterior. Great view of the door still present without damage.
4500 years of History! Not to be missed with a 45 minutes long light show in the evening at 7:00 and 8:00 PM in October.
Keops Pyramid is obviously massive and stunning, but you can't go inside, so just know that it's pretty much a thing you ooh and aah at.
me and my friends went to Cairo , Egypt with recommendation of our friend who had been there , it was really excellent experience to explore the aniceent sophistry ,our guide took us to pyramid, sphinx ,Egyptian museum , thanks alot for your arrangements..
Seeing the Pyramids at this time when there are no people evoked an overwhelming emotion for me. Being in the presence of something so old and so incredible humbles the human spirit. I loved iit.
You are allowed to climb up the side of this pyramid and climb a narrow path into the burial chamber. No painting inside but still interesting to see interior. Lots of photo ops!

It's just unbelievable I've been to Giza pyramids with friends, we were fascinated by the geometric structure of this historical treasure. It's really one of 7 mysteries of the world. Don't miss such opportunity
At least my dream came through.. Visiting Giza and see the amazing pyramids. Impressing how they are built in ancient Egypt. It was hot, but worth it.
How can you visit Egypt, Cairo without visiting the Pyramid? This is a crime a against any logic and a clear disrespect to History. Just do it, be there and enjoy that moment of time.

There is no other place on earth that equals the pyramids. A visit to the pyramids of Guiza is like a visit in a history book turning real. You can even ride a horse around (but take care of the horse guide who might over...More
AMzing pyramid that you can go inside. The inside is pretty cool and you see the incredible stone cutting and architecture required to build these amazing structures

Now is probably the best time to see the pyramids because tourism is sitting at 5%. The country is completely safe so if there's one time to get photos perfect without hoards of tourists- it would be now. It's a shame they don't let you...More
No matter how many times you visit the pyramids, there is always something new you see or notice and there is always something different to be enjoyed. Just being in the presence of history is a pleasure by itself.
The pyramid of Khufu or Cheops; the biggest of them all and the greatest of them all. A monument that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so for eons to come. This is one of the main attractions in Cairo...More

Amazing to imagine such a structure was built thousands of years ago without technology of current times. What is underwhelming is that its right beside the crowded city not in the middle of the desert as I used to imagine before seeing.

Always wanted to visit the Pyramids. Last year, against the advise of others, I decided to visit Egypt and the Pyrimids. Everything was excellent, had no problems and was the most memorable vacation of my life
The pyramids are amazing but you have to be on guard from the action of local touts. The best rule of thumb is not to enter a conversation with anyone who approaches you close to the pyramids. Keep your hands at your side or folded...More
Avoid visiting it in July & August. It is too hot . You should have a hat on your head. Take a camel ride. It is fun.
This was my second time here and I still found it awesome. Taking a camel ride is a must for both the experience and to get pictures with the pyramids in the background.
Seeing the pyramids was a dream come true. I enjoyed the entire experience. The vendors were VERY persistent in their attempts to get you to purchase from them.
You see plenty of pictures and even some video that shows this magnificent structure, but there are no words or pictures that i can use to describe what it is to stand at the base of Keops Pyramid. To use words such as stunning or...More
Really enjoyed my trip to the pyramids, made all the better by being guided by friends from Cairo. It was very hot make sure you take plenty of water.
It's beautiful places to visit .....I Have nice weekend there ....I asked my self how they bilded the pyramids without any machine in that past time

Although it can be very hot at mid day it is a must if possible go with a private taxi tour guide and don't feel embarrassed to say no to the pyramid sellers
So crazy to see the city from the base of a pyramid... so worthwhile to just go and witness the sheer scale of these things
Must see when you are in Egypt ofcourse. Day time visit is nice but basically too hot....at night there is a very nice lightshow with explanation/translator in basically any language you wish.
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, which is still available to see and it's worth to make a visit and witness the marvel. Very nice place to be. However the monument is getting worn out with time and poor care.

Certainly exciting to see one of the most iconic images on earth. However, going inside (I'd always wondered if you could) not as impressive as I thought and overpriced.

I'm an expat living in Cairo and I've visited the pyramids several times and every time they take my breathe away. You can just stand there in amazement.
First visit and I will come back. Just one thing, people there are not honest they will try to take the maximum of money wich made me very frustrated. Try to find a agency by your hotel it would be better
We absolutely loved seeing the pyramids, in person, despite the heat and jet lag. Would have gone back again, if our itinerary had time. We rode around the pyramids on camels, and even though we had ridden camels before in Kenya, this was an amazing...More
Amazing place to visit, to enjoy the beautiful and stunning scenery of the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
A must see amazing Pyramids and you should listen to the stories and information provided by a guide. You would be impressed of the secret info they have and the secret rooms .... To-date this mystery hasn't been resolved.
Way before all the high rising buildings caught our attention, the Great Pyramids of Egypt already making wonders to every tourist who have seen it.
I went with lot of expectations but was quite disappointed to see the place. One it is not wheelchair accessible well that is ok as you can see them from close but the whole place is in shambles. They Pyramids do not look glorious -...More
Was amazing going inside the wonder, but make sure you take some water and be prepared for the heat as it hits you. I must say if you are claustrophobic then the tunnel might be too much for you.

Not worth visiting as there is renovation going on. It hides the view and if you have been to Giza there is very little to add.
If you only have time for one attraction while in Cairo make sure you take a trip to Giza and see the pyramids. One of the most amazing things I have ever seen in all my travels.
It is really on the Top of the 7 wonders. visiting Egypt cannot be complete without visiting the Pyramids
Loved the Pyramids--go inside! They are just such an amazing feat of engineering. Despite having seen thousands of photos they are worth the trip.
Though Egypt is not everyone's destination of choice, many friends and family told us not to go, we never felt unsafe the entire time. Wonderful people everywhere and they were thrilled to see us visiting their country.
If you love ancient Egypt seeing pyramids is guaranteed good funn and you wont make mistake if you go to see them.Fantastic place where you can see something extraordinary and ask yourself how the hell people built such incredible World wonders.

A place that every man should visit. It's a real experience to see the major achievements of this old civilization.
Great place for history, the only thing is the sellers there will constantly keep bugging you to buy there products, and for some reason you're never allowed to take pictures.
Huge and beautiful is what describes this, worth every penny of it...Has been one of the best views that we can ask for.
You can't prepare yourself for the first time you see this pyramid. It's so large, it will take your breath away. Truly a wonder of the world!
What can you say? They are a true wonder of the world. It was hot (117 f), but that just added to the mystique.
Just amazing and breath taking seeing how they made this.Keops pyramid. I'll tell my friends all about this.
We were amazed by the sheer size and majesty of this incredible wonder. There are so few tourists we pretty much were there on our own and with such excellent guides such as Yassir we had a great time, stay hydrated
Beautifully historic! Such a wonderful place to visit with a great story. The view is fantastic and u can ride horses or a carriage or even a camel! Entering the pyramid is awesome. It's cool inside, as in not hot.
Must visit, the heat will kill you but the beauty of pyràmids will kill you more. So get ready to enjoy the heat for the first time in life.

Its awe inspiring.Fix the price of camel ride before you get on camel. It should be no more than 100 Egyptian pounds.
Visit the HISTORY :) you will not believe your eyes .. just take a long breath before entering because you might run out of oxygen inside :)
Have to see the wonder of the world! It is quite a site. There is really not that much to see inside, but you can see for yourself.
If you can possibly visit Egypt now, come try it--i was a little concerned about safety but I had a great trip--and my son and I had the Great Pyramid to ourselves--there are literally almost no tourists in the entire place---It is an amazing experience....

Was a wonderful trip and I would recommend it very nice visit this place , especially in the times, as in early in the morning after Fajr prayer until just before sunrise
Take horse or camel, choose big circle and you'll get unforgettable experience! You can also see it from Al-Ashar Park and Cairo Tower, so pay attention, view is nice!

There is no way you cannot be in awe of these amazing feats of architecture. Tourism is way down here and it was easy to get around the pyramids. We did a cliche camel ride and really enjoyed that too
Always wanted to visit & undoubtedly worth the visit. Any words I can write here just wont matter unless you go & see for yourself. A great guide is highly recommended.
This was absolutely the highlight of Egypt. Make sure you go INSIDE and see as much as you can. I found this to be the crowning jewel other than the Cairo museum.
.....never in my wildest dream i'll visit the pyramids. being inside the second pyramid is an absolute fun..

It is impossible to describe the pyramids in their context. Each a bit different, telling a history of people long ago.
Being dwarfed by the mere size of the pyramid makes one feel small against such majestic building achievement from yonks ago.
Be aware of your surroundings and not fall for tricks to try and get u to buy their stuff. If you tip the guide. U can get great pics
A must see in Egypt. However, the tour of the inside cost extra and really nothing to see once you get there except four walls and a ceiling.

This was my eighth trip to Egypt I'm always drawn back to the pyramids, the magic,the grandness and the mystery of this beautiful site, still blows me away,even after 40 years of travel the spiritual uplift you get from them is amazing
Having visited many times it gets a bit monotonous but they are worth seeing, one thing that has improved though is the fewer merchants chasing the life out of you to purchase items
heard and read so much about the pyramids,seeing it,entering it till the top was like a dream cum true,must visit
When you visit the pyramids of Giza, you will be astonished with how "Huge" Keops is. The pyramid allows a certain limited number of visitors to go inside. You have to be fit and not claustrophobic. But it's beautiful!
it's really nice trip I had such a great time their with my parents and I got the chains to ride a clam
it was very nice to see the symbol of phoranic civilization in Egypt. it was nice sunny day. and i explored it from inside

The Giza Pyramid is a wonder to behold. The structural integrity and endurance is mystifying. As I write this review, I reflect on the engineering mastery and the commitment needed to accomplish this monumental structure.
Thanks to Memphis Tours for making our time in Giza one of the best thus far on our 1 year travel world tour! :)
Keops Pyramid was excellent. We went later in the day and the crowds were not too big. The only thing to watch here is the persistence of some of the vendors.
I did a tour of the Giza pyramids and found it absolutely breathtaking. Just to imagine the the work and dedication to build the pyramids without machines blows my mind. Recommended.

Loved it ! Highly recommend the camel ride around the three pyramids of hofu, hofra and mankowra. The views are astounding
Beautiful and amazing when up close to see how huge and what it must have taken to build and withstand thousands of years. We did tour with an outside guide that provided interesting detail about the history.
I love the pyramid of cheopes was very good day thanks for all the people It was safe place o really appreciate all the help
Visited this place with my husband with the help of a tour operator. this place far from the city and aprox 45 minutes drive from the airport.It is amazing place very peaceful and beautiful .

It was great to see the clarity of the building and the scale of how big these structures really are - that's not easy from a photo or tv programme! I went before trip advisor

Stunning pyramid. Largest of the three. It's very difficult to take your eyes off as its so impressive. Go early in the morning to beat the crowds
If you are in Cairo, you must visit the pyramids. You can go there either alone or with a travel agency. It is a 30 - 45 min drive from the heart of Cairo, depending of road traffic. The monuments are really impressive. Worth the...More
Visited the pyramids in the summer of 2011. It was everything that you could imagine. We spent 4 hours visiting the 3 pyramids and was worth every minute
As a kid you see these things in books - seeing it for real is a whole other experience!! There are areas that are off the immediately obvious route that are well worth the trouble to find - be sure to look for the block...More
Our family had a wonderful time we had exceptional service we did the camel ride and took plenty of pictures everything was so accessible and the people were so nice
This pyramid is immense. You can get excellent views from the eastern entrances to the Pyramid complex particularly during sunset. Also views from the west looking down over the city are pretty amazing too.

Every time I see the pyramids it gives me a sense of wonder. Truly one of the wonders of the ancient world.
More than what i had thought. Incredible size.. Still cant believe its man made. But nothing inside. Surely go once imside. But opt for the cheapest one..the smaller pyramid. As all are same from inside. U can imagine the size of a single stone block...More
We went to the sound and light show at night and it was great but rented blankets. The site around the pyramids is very clean. You can rent camel rides there also.
All what I can say is Please world come and see one of the seven ancient world still exist till now. It's really deserve to be seen.my favourite place ever.
most nice thing in your life you can see and you can find great pepole all over egypt and very nice smile from all.
Pyramids tale of a history of thousands of years indescribable human mind proud civilization is unprecedented
It was wonderful to be there and it is worth taking pain in legs by visiting it from inside. Since I had to carry my 2 year old son so it became little tough for my legs to climb up and then climb down the...More
One of the wonders of the world. Huge stones in pyramid shape thousands of years old in the desert. The history of pyramid (how it was made with bear hands) is much more astonishing than the view on sight. The verdict is that they look...More

overwhelming site, inside is the hottest place in Egypt, an amazing feat of engineering proving Egyptians were not afraid of work
It's the Giza Pyramid. Everyone knows it. It's a lot larger in real life and truly amazing. If you want to go up inside the pyramid , we must go early!!
This monument is awe inspiring. Access to the pyramid is through the Giza necropolis, which cost 80 Egyptian pounds. Entry through the metal detectors at main entrance to the necropolis was chaotic due to a large group trying to get in. Even with tourist numbers...More

You can't visit Egypt without visiting the pyramids, it's a must see. Amazing place, very impressive.
I loved it and would highly recommend that you take the time to visit and if physically possible climb the pyramid!

Must Must Go - nothing else - An architecture that has stunned the most brilliant engineers all over the world - thousands of years in front of you, why do you need to read a review for it !!!!!!!!!! just go

I went there before. There was no water there so we had to bring our own water. Egypt is very hot and sunny so we got sweat. I did not like it when it is terrible.

Amazing! Love that you can climb on the pyramid. Take a camel ride to them to get fantastic photos of all three pyramids behind you.
This place is imbued with a deep sense of history We enjoyed the visit and clambering about the Great Pyramid taking photos!
Historic place that I recommend to see. You will have great impression. Keops Pyramid is one of the places in Egypt that you may call unique.

I had limited knowledge of the pyramids, but after visiting them it is another incredible, unbelievable history lesson.
Best visited very early in the morning. We arrived at Giza about 8.30 am and it was not only virtually deserted but also very atmospheric, as there was a light mist all around.
Great Take horse carriage Should cost around 200 pounds Must visit Visit 9 am in morning when it is not hot Can also walk around 1.5 km
Wonderful trip visiting the Giza plateau with the three great pyramids along with the Sphinz We travelled with Egypt Tailormade and they were brilliant

Guys! Tip with Omar ( the guide holding the horses in desert ). He deserves it. Because he is talkative&friendly&sincere. I went the pyramids with my boss. Thank God was Omar with us. Otherwise The trip would be awful with the boss.
we been there of or only 1 hour which I think is enough for cairo as it's very busy place which we didn't like pyramid was just great to see and it shows how was the architecture of old Faronas and how great they was
More fun a bit further away. I probably got ripped off, paying 2400 Egyptian Pounds for the camel ride, and then some baaksjies to the guide (he took the pictures - at least I got my iPhone back) and to the camel driver.
You won't believe it until you've seen it....absolutely an incredible "wonder" of this world that defies the notion of time....literally (:
It was good, but for me wasn't the best thing i have seen. The only thing i realy like were horses, but be ware their owners isialy name a very hight price.
I wanted to see the pyramids since was a little kid. Finally it's done! I took a private tour from the hotel, which costed around 40 euros. Was ideal for a short visit with not too much time for searching and fooling around. I had...More

You must see to appreciate the enormity of the Great Pyramid. Ample opportunities to have marvelous and memorable photos from different locations.
It's the most impressive thing I have ever seen. It's Hugh! ...and so old! Take a professional guide with you otherwise you will be attacked by horseman to ride a camel or a horse! We went into the Pyramids. A lovely place.
February 2016, a great time for us (we had the whole place to ourselves) but a big bummer for all the people that need to make a living here ...

With Egyptian tourism down, you can see the pyramids without a crowd around you. They were amazing and you could really get up close without being pushed and shoved.
I was amazed by the texture of the limestone that was used to build this pyramid. It was really smooth. Just looking at it seems like it is jagged and rugged. It is actually smooth to the touch ! This is a must see site!
This one is the biggest pyramid and it is great to see the work they have put in to make it so amazing
The Great Pyramids are fascinating , I went there with my friends with Metro at "Giza Station" in second metro line then we take a mini bus for 10 LE to Pyramids Gate , we took a small coach to the gate for 10 LE...More
The place is just out of this world. You can only admire the pyramid design and building which was done almost 5000 years ago.
I felt giddy as a school boy visiting the pyramids at Giza. It had been a dream of mine since I was a child to visit Egypt and the pyramids. Simply loved the place!!

Go early and tour the entire area, the is more than pyramids. If you have a good guide (we did, Ahmed from Memphis tours), they will know good and unusual views.
You can't fathom that the pyramids are 4500 years old. How did they build this? We went up to the pyramids by camels but we could easily have walked the short distance. Be ware of sellers that are trying to cheat you.
Although the review says I visited in March 2015 it was actually a couple of years earlier. Reviews of the pyramids are pointless as their history speaks for themselves. The most surprising part of the visit is that most people don't realise that the Giza...More
We travelled by camel and horse back - it was worth it to get the views of all the pyramids. It was a bit commercial around the pyramids themselves but worth a walk to the Hotel Meena House for lunch overlooking the pyramids, without the...More
Last of the 7 wonders of the world. This is a must see when traveling to Cairo. Not much to see on the inside but the massive size is unbelievable. Don't miss this when you are in Cairo
We really enjoyed the entire experience and the friendliness of the local people. The only thing we would have appreciated more is if the surrounding areas were less dirty and people will not through their waste on the floor.
From a distance this looks so smooth and perfect yet close up you see how it was constructed and you can go inside too.
Just like everyone else, I couldn't believe the size of these pyramids. Spend a little extra and go for a tour on the inside. One of the most memorable things I did in 11 days in Egypt.
I had been here many times before, but this time a family member came along. To get to the Pyramids your taxi will drop you outside the Mena House Hotel and you start walking up some 500 yards. The locals managed to mislead me into...More

Recommend Blue Sky Travel of Cairo . Unfortunately Egyptians do not believe in keeping their country or national sites clean. Look beyond the garbage strewn everywhere to enjoy this wonder.

When we went there we thousands of Egyptian families. Thousands climbing all over the place, leaving food wrappers everywhere, horses and camel pissi,g and dropping dung piles all over the place. The place was chaos. Don't go in early February when Egypt has school holidays.
It was interesting to see the pyramids one of the ancient wonders of the world.The features is majestic and its amazing to see there was so much of expertise that long time ago.Worth the visit.
Not to crowded very accessible however you are constantly approached for people offering tours walks rides etc. you can not have free time for your self.
Great experience but pricey. We paid 900egp for two camels and guide for the long tour, which is recommended because you get a good panoramic view of the pyramids. Right price would be 250-300EGP per person, we learned later. However, to get that price it...More

Visiting the Giza plateau will help you see the contradiction that is Egypt. These pyramids are no longer in the middle of the desert.
First view of Egypt was the incredible pyramids from our Le Meridian hotel, literally. We had to pinch ourselves to make sure we weren't dreaming!
Went with my roommate to the pyramid. toke a lot of pics. ride Camels. was a good experience for sure :)
This is the reason that many of us come to Egypt. The Great Pyramid is legendary. It is a must see, and even better than expected as there is so much to be seen and learned from a visit to the Giza Plateau, Pyramid Complex.

Awesome, recommend going in, the cost is high but worth it. It is very hot inside and a bit of a climb, while being over. They won't let cameras in, but phones are fine.
Was lucky to visit one of the seven wonders of the world. :) The heat can take a toll but its once in a lifetime experience.
So much people trying. To sell pyramids , souvenirs, also you will be asked to ride camels horse,s and they rise the price when u r already on the horse, so you can t say no, very smart people lol

Even from a short distance, one of the world's greatest mystic monuments . . . . Standing on the Pyramid however, it's a big pile of rocks!
A memorable visit to actually see this amazing antiquity. All the pictures in the world can't do justice to actually being there!
The Pyramids are amazing which make you wonder how they were built thousands years ago &tell how ancient Egypt was great.
The pyramid complex consists of 3 pyramids plus Sphinx. You can visit the interiors of the smallest pyramid as all interiors are more or less the same.
What an engineering marvel!!! Its mind boggling how they were able to pile up the stones of over one ton weight without the help of cranes and how the stones just stay on oneanother without collapsing inside !!!!

I had been waiting my whole life to visit the pyramid and IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! I thought maybe it would be smaller than pictures had always shown, but it was absolutely HUGE!!!
When you visit the pyramids, it's worth to pay the extra to visit the King's chamber. You won't regret it.
Keops pyramid is a must visit place in Cairo.The camel ride was amazing.If you are afraid of height choose pony ride.
Every bit as amazing as you'd expected, this pyramid is a testament to mankind's ingenuity. Despite being overrun, it remains magical. Crawling inside to the great chamber can be a bit claustrophobic, but worthwhile. Tickets to the interior are limited so make sure you get...More
loved it and the cammel ride was great! the guide was very important and he knows a lot about the place
Never got all the history down (guess there is just too much for 1 guide to share), but was stunned to learn there are enough stones in this pyramid to create housing for 330000 people! And they let you climb a little way up!
Space is what you look for in a city like Cairo. The pyramids is a wonderful place space, clean bathrooms looked after by young Egyptians who are keen on giving good service. Make sure to go as early as possible.
The Keops pyramid is the only remaining ancient wonder, and the pyramids are still an amazing monument to visit. Went there in 2012 and they are a must in the life of an adventurer. You can/could go inside some of the pryamids and see the...More

A wow feeling! A must see and experience. Cool feeling to see them in real life, climb on the Cheopspyramid and try to understand the full picture of this world's unique construction and history.
Awesome architectural achievement. Do you dare visit Cairo and come back to tell you acquaintances you did not go to Giza? (Skip the horse/camel/cart rides). The swarm of hawkers/touts is a slight detraction.

Till date no one knows for sure how they build these Great Pyramids which makes it a Great Wonder of the Ancient World that is a must visit if you ever visit Cairo!
This is something so magnificent it must be seen. Very impressive details relating to the alignment with the stars, alignment with the sun, and all the little details related to how they were built.

Not much to say about this. If it's your first trip to Cairo and you don't go, you're really too jaded. Go inside if you can, make sure you visit the boat museum, too.

I always dream to travel to pyramid, and I finally got there. The smell of the sand, the pyramid itself, stunning. Whoever what to experience it, must go!

the architecture of the pyramids is dazzling, nothing negative can be said about it. however the infrastructure and the lack of care by the Egyptian is embarrassing, a lot should be done especially when its about tourists.
If you are in Egypt you have to be in this place. You have to see the external and feel the internal parts of Pyramid
What an incredible sight! Cross another one off the bucket list! Well worth the visit. Come and help the Egyptian tourist market. You are safe!
we traveld to hurghada in june mainly to go to luxor, unfortunately there was an incident and all excursions were canceled at our time of visit, instead we took a bus trip to cairo its a long trip 6 hours by bus, but its totally...More
If you visit egypt its mandatory to see this place..its a must visit place,take a tour guide or book a tour beware of scammers who are there before you reach giza and the place you can hire camels or donkeys for ride
Those who visit Egypt should definitely visit the Pyramid of Giza .Beware of small merchants selling items.
I wish we could have gone higher. But this an enormous structure. There is a lot of hassle from the vendors so escape them quickly.
As you would expect the pyramids are awesome, be very careful that as you enter that you don't get led to believe you need a guide or they work for the government and will look after you , I recomend that you enter the site...More

I just love the Great Pyramid. Walking into it makes me time-travel 1000s of years back. Thinking of all those workmen who built it makes me bow in reverence.
I was quite excited to see the pyramids for the first time. Aside from the chaos trying to get there and figure out how to get tickets, which tickets to buy, and where to park, we finally got in. As soon as we made it...More

The pyramids are simply incredible. I would recommend to go on for a tour in order to get the most out of the experience.
The most impressive site (and sight!) in the world. You may hear people complain it is on the edge of Cairo, but that does not detract from the beauty and mystery of this ancient monument.
Excellent adventure especially into the burial chamber although quite plain inside. The fun is in getting to it. A good place to wet your appetite for Egyptian history.
Saw the pyramids last monday. Amazing. We hired a guide which I highly recommend. We were picked up in a van at hotel and taken to Pyramids. Saw all 3 pyramids up close- went inside the smaller one- saw sphinx also. Amazing experience. You're gonna...More

I have visited the pyramids hundred of times, yet every time I stand in awe at these most impressive monuments. Never seen anything like them, not even in China! Their sound and light performance adds history to the great architecture
As all of you know that it's one of the 7 wonders of the world. It's true if one can imagine how those people lifted the stone as tall is you to build the structure. However I don't recommend going inside the pyramid through the...More
Its exactly as you envisioned, with huge structures, the sands across, camels, the works....the salesmen though are a nuisance

This was a long time dream to see the great pyramids of Giza. Entering it is a way great bonus! The tunnel-like entrance is amazing and exciting. I would not recommend entering this pyramid if you are claustrophobic. Do not expect to see the coffin...More
Unbelievable to stand next to 5K years of history! No guide needed. Extra $25 to climb inside the Great Pyramid probably not worth it (not much to see) but it's fun and a challenge.
With a weekend day to spare I just had to get out of the hotel. I wasn't sure of the hustle and bustle of the markets so thought I'd try the Giza pyramids. Easy to arrange (night before!) with TripAdvisor click-through. If you get to...More

I feel bad leaving a review for the most stunning architectural achievement of humanity. But, it has to be seen to be believed. Even though you might have seen pictures, you have to see it in person to understand the size of this monument. While...More
Awesome - fulfilled one of my vacation dreams. We didn't go inside. Our guide said it wasn't worth it, that there were better ones to see at Saqqara.
Awesome, it will stay the best wonder of the world, how they were able to build with such perfection pyramid, with simple means. just need to put comfortable shoes, and do not forget to visit inside the pyramid.
Nothing interesting to note about this particular but it was astounding to see along with the rest of the pyramids.
Do not only visit it on travelers perception, rather one should read the histories, understand the mindset of the then pharaohs and spiritual, astronomical and architectural beauty of the pyramids. Then you will salute this place. otherwise it is just only a big structure.
It is a real blessing to see the mighty pyramids & the sphinx at Giza. Once u reach the town of Giza, u will be surrounded by various guides. Be careful. If u are able bodied, you can walk through the entire area without any...More
Yes, it is a 'must do', yes it is everything and more !! We chose not go inside --but that did not lesson the experience. " tie fears only the pyramids"

Our guide first took us to the excavations and later to the Pyramids - They're amazing - Expect long lines but if going with the right guide you'll be able to skip those lines!
We were a group of 17 and we all enjoyed this pyramid. You need an extra ticket to go inside the pyramid. Best time of year to visit is November when it is not hot.
The Pyramids and Spynx is great to see for the first time. I was staying in Hurghada. So the trip to Cairo to see the Pyramids was a long round trip drive. I found most things to be run down and dirty. The Nile river...More
Everyone visiting Egypt needs to see pyramids, fantastic atmosphere and you can smell the past. If you have fantastic tour guide is even more interesting.

What an amazing sight. Well maintained and kept clean, the hagglers weren't super aggressive compared to most sites in Egypt.
No one can imagine what we fell when we are in front of this extraordinary monument. Everyone should visit this place once in the life !
I'm so happy to be today in the great pyramids I love it was funny and awesome day I'll back soon with family to spend more time in this place

Not to miss, interesting visit, dont forget to take a guide to understand the importance of the historical site. I would recommend to pass to visit the inside, especially if you plan as well to visit the valley of the kings in Luxor.
A moment to remember, so humbling to see these amazing pyramids!! Many told me there would be a lot of garbage around them, not so the area is very clean, lots of touts harassing travellers to buy items, which are likely made in China!!
Its such a majestic feeling you stand next to the puramids, 4000 years of history! Its a shame that so few tourist visit it now and its not maintained so well The pyramids are within the compound, there is an entry fee for the compunds...More
Many pyramids and sphinx are all together in Giza, and are as cool as one thinks they'll be. A must visit for anyone with a bucket list of amazing historical landmarks. We also felt very safe.
Visiting something that you have heard about since you were a little boy can always be one of two things, either you are more impressed or it is a let down, "was that all?". Well, the pyramids fall in to the first category, I knew...More

Amazing pyramid!!! If you have a chance to visit Egypt, don't miss this place, it really worth visiting.
We were surprised at how few people were there. Not very crowded at all. No problem with venders. If you told them you were not interested and to go away they seemed to comply. Once you acted as if you were interested then you had...More
I didn't go inside, since I'm claustrophobic, but I did climb up to the entrance, which kind of gives you a feeling for the scale. A great day at the pyramids!

This pyramid along with the other pyramids in the area are what everyone thinks of when they want to visit Egypt; it did not disappoint.
view is stunning. for us it was not stressful at all. the weather was great. loved every minute spent there
There is no words to explain the majesty of this destruction. 4 thousand years before. Near to cairo you can see on your right hand the city and from the other the dessert. Be careful the tourist guides because they dont know to make deals....More
This visit was a great start to Cairo and a wonderful and interesting view of the Pyramid. Nice explanations from our guide and a great stop!
The sheer scale of this pyramid is breathtaking. To think how the stone was transported and erected with such precision gives sense of just how major an effort was made in this world for the benefit of the Pharaoh in the afterlife. The site is...More
Got a taxi from the museum - 100egp return with a 2 hour wait at the pyramids. Takes about 60 to 75 minutes to drive out Dont bother with horse or camel rides as its an easy enough walk to see all the sites
If I were to go again I would not go with a package deal who rushed us. It was a great experience all the same.
Its real life not like in the movies you feel surreal It was like traveling back in time I danced around the pyramid
Good place to go but problem with much buyers and money beggers easy to go there traffic is always busy do not forget to ride a horse or a camel
If you visit Egypt this is the No1 must visit place , I have visited this area with my wife last few month, we really enjoy the round tour over the body of the camel.

This was amazing to see. I did not go inside the pyramid, but the outside of it was awesome. I highly recommend this attraction.
You have to visit once in a life-time to marvel at the ancient Egytian's achievements. Also take the opportunity to walk around the area and in particular the Perfume Shops with their aroma and beautiful and ornate bottles.
To make a dream come true is not easy. But when we realize it, you feel a pure sensation of magic and pleasure! To be in front the 3 great pyramids was one of the most emotional moments in my life. The great pyramid of...More
Standing before the northernmost and oldest pyramid in this group in Giza, which has survived for over 4,500 years - you realize the impunity of man.
So hard to explain the feeling of when you are standing in front of the Pyramids! Something that was built 4 and a half thousands years ago! It was just mind blowing and definitely a must to experience this once in your lifetime!
Just can't ask for more. Wonderfully maintained and the stories to heard are amazing. Make sure you visit the perfume shops and get a first hand experience of the terrific egyptian salesman ship :)
As with other reviews, a trip to Egypt is not complete without a visit to the pyramids of Giza. Ignore the comments about fast food restaurants as these are far enough away and do not affect the magnificence of these pyramids at all.
By standing in front of these spectacular monuments, one feels overwhelmed by the magical sense of history and mystery. What an experience!! Ignore the touts and submerse yourself in this very special place
This really was a once in a lifetime experience for us to witness all these great pyramids so close together. Mind blowing!
How did they build these amazing buildings. Its mind blowing just trying to get a hold that your there looking at them, seeing them, standing in front of them. And this one is sooo high, stand back and look up to get the full height...More

No words can describe it. If for nothing else, this is one of the few surviving ancient wonders of the world.
Be careful of the haters! Despite the commercialism, they are incredible monuments worth a few hours of just being around them. Yes there are vendors, just avoid engagement. I just say a police and sincere Salam and they leave me be.
I think everyone should visit the pyramids at least once.Nowadays it's not crowded at all and you can get inside the pyramids easily.
Unique experience !!! Inside the pyramid you feel the strong and clean energy that flows around . It's a miracle how they build all this huge stones.
first with the negatives, - i do understand with the millions of people living a working in Cairo that jobs are hard to come by and there is a lot of poor people living there but the hassle you get whilst visiting the pyramids is...More

This is the first pyramid you will come to. If you don't go with a group, be sure to hire a guide. If you don't get the history, it's just a breathtaking pile of rocks.

Amazing view and a great journey. Never thought that I will be able to visit this place but I did! We booked through a travel agent that comes with a tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and kind too.
Really enjoyed the trip to see the pyramids. However, there are lots of vendors there who try to sell you everything, a guide told us not to accept anything in our hands as we would then be expected to pay for it.

Well preserved typical vendors selling anything from sand to camels! but no trouble all in good humour - their prices were reasonable GO WITH A GUIDE!!!
Visited the pyramid during a sandstorm they said was the worst since 1945. Could not lift your head to see anything and it turned cold. Fascinating to see when you could.
It is always amazing when you visit the site and try to imagine how it was built to such precision and able to stand the elements of the harsh weather and neglect of the years.I always wonder what could be hidden inside ?
It is place that definitely need to see at least once. I was prepared to worse; annoying sellers of scrap, camel riders... But if you just go and ignore then no problems. Wouldn't recommend to go inside the pyramids: nothing special.
One of the 10 places you need to go. Outside and inside is incredible. A 10+ place to go. Is safe and wonderfull
Like a lot of potentially fantastic Egyptian attractions the Pyramids are a disappointment as Egypt seem unable or are perhaps unwilling to present them in the very best way - very hot at the site with absolutely minimal shade so wear a hat or take...More

We visited this Pyramid during sun set as well as for the "Sound & Lights" that same evening. A very outstanding visit and something that is not to be missed when ever in Cairo.
What an amazing day. I will never forget it... just mind the hawkers. They will try anything for a dollar
A must see, make sure you have a guide that can give you all the amazing and fascinating history and a big bottle of water.
Quite unbelievable!! you can't quite imagine the size properly until you are standing at the foot of it looking up!! amazing trip - use a local tour guide - save yourself a lot of hassle from the locals.
This is the Grandfather of them all, a great sight to behold. We didn't go inside, but probably should have as it has the most complicated internal layout of any of the pyramids you can access.
It is just magical to marvel at the pyramids and their complexity. It really makes you question all that man is capable of. I got this as part of a tour so I am not sure of a price but regardless of what it is,...More

The pyramids are a must when in Cairo. The evening laser and sound show is a bit dated, but I would also highly recommend it, I was really impressed - Omar Sharif narrating the history of the pyramids and of ancient Egypt.
Shame the Pyramids are so close to the city. A remote desert setting would be more appropriate. Try the camel ride!
Great in general, but beware of the vendors. Keep your stuff with you. Never, never let any local people there take your camera or bag. No matter how friendly they appear to be. No matter what the reason is. One person there offered to take...More
When in Cairo visit the pyramids, that is the reason you go to Cairo. Well worth it ,I would recommend this place

One of world's amazing miracle. Everyone should visit this at least once. There are many illegal merchants near the pyramid. So, it will be better if not to make any form contact with them.
What can I say? This is a must visit, bottom line! It is overwhelming! The energy this place has is just touching. However, to make the most of it go with a good, well reputed guide. Don't save on a guide! Otherwise, you'll feel robbed!
What can you say about the pyramids? They are truly awesome, a must-see. Two of them are typically open for the public to enter at any given time. It's also a good place to pick up some cheap souvenir, but be prepared to haggle! I...More

After climbing few steps of the great Pyramid, the panoramic view of Cairo was really wonderful. The tour inside is a unique experience.
One of the most impressive structures in the world! So far, the most astonishing I have ever seen! The only problem are the too many people asking for money on the surroundings of the pyramids. So, be careful!

A lot larger than you expect. In fact it's huge and not crawling with tourists, just a couple of thousand per square inch at most.

Amazing place. There are stairs built into the side so it's easy to climb up a few meters high onto the side. Costs extra to actually go inside. VERY hot in August!
Fantastic place ..... pyramids is amazing building .... Egyptian people are so kindly ..... i interested alot ... and get much more fun

As in my other reviews, the problem with these grandious sites will remain the issue of not being able to enjoy or view the area without the constant interference of vendors, 'tour guides', camel /horse rides, etc. I have said it in other reviews, these...More
One of the most iconic places to visit in the world. Don't let the hassle put you off. Go in the early mornings for late afternoon just before it closes and this is so beautiful. Ignore the people trying to sell you stuff of make...More
Impressive. You keep asking yourself: "How do they did them?" Is amazing. If you are lucky enough (and don't suffer from claustrophobia) I recommend you to go inside and visit the mortuary chamber.
We saw them from the distance....and I can tell you that is more than enough ...old stones....it is better to go the the museum.....

Glorious and majestic. The whole Giza plateau with pyramids and sphinx is a world wonder. A horse back ride is fun but settle a deal with the horse man first

No words can describe this area , it the top attraction in the world not in Egypt. Although it is not the most visited attraction because it needs a lot of improvements.
Awesome Monument, Must be visited. The stones used for it ranges from 2.5 tonnes to 18 tonnes. In that period how they managed to pull, drag, lift and arrange that kind of stone in position. Its a real wonder
The sound and light show is a wonderful experience. Like Julius Caesar, I have an aversion to the Egyptian sun, and this allowed me to visit this historic place without melting. Unlike 20 years ago when I visited, this time the usually packed show was...More

THE must see sight on any Egypt holiday. Very impressive. Only downside is the amount of touts outside. I'd recommend visiting as part of a tour group where the operators will block off the touts from approaching.
Not a lot to be said, everyone knows they must visit. A little expensive to enter, but you must go inside
the only remains one of the seven wonder world really deserve your visit >if you visit it before you have to visit it again every time i went there i learnt something new so always i will keep going there
Can't recommend this highly enough, last visited 2010 with family on a day trip from Sharm, have wanted to see this since school and was not disappointed. If you get here early you can go inside for a fee but they only let so many...More

Amazing to see, once in a lifetime. you'll need to be quite fit to go inside as is quite humid inside and is a difficult walk down to tomb inside. Definitely worth doing if in Egypt.
The Cheops Solar Boat or Khufu Ship, is a most important archeological find to date. We visited the Musem of Cheops (1982) boat alongside the Great Pyramid of Khufu. There are two summations regarding its function: 1) this was a funerary boat used to carry...More

Ancient Egypt is something what everybody should see. These remains are powerful and beautiful. The Pyramides are something special ...and when you are going inside, you could feel this magnificent building. The air is a little bit stuffy, but it worth.

Kheops pyramid is one of the attractions, you must visit , while in Cairo. Take time, since climbing in hte pyramid takes time and there are other pyramids to see and of course the Sphinx.
It was very surrealsitic to see the Pyramins, but I was so disappointed in the conditions. Names carved in the stones, and trash everywhere.
This is the Great Pyramid, or pyramid of Cheops or Khufu. I suppose that Keops is just another spelling. It is massive, and dominates the surrounding area. Worth the visit!
How did they build it? That must be on the lips of every person who has stared at this incredible building. It was much bigger and more imposing than I had imagined. Climbing up to enter the inside of the Pyramid was in itself an...More

Not waht you expect to see on the outskirts of Cairo. When you first arrive you just want to gaze upon it and touch it. You need to pinch yourself as you are staning in a travel brochure. Watch out for the child hawkers!
Incredibly beautiful pyramid and it is possible to go into it. A little hot and poor oxygen but worth the effort

A remarkable structure and a must see, well worth the effort to make a special trip to see these awesome Pyramids.
Amazing place to be. No surprise that it is the wounder of the world. You will ask yourself how did they do that.
The idea that this pyramid was constructed and designed without all our machines and computers and just with slave labour leaves one breathless.
Very nice place very hot in mid day sun but amazing place must go ones in your life time. Didn't go inside just to hot😁

We went with a guide who explained the importance on all the pyramids and kept us safe from the vendors. He helped us climb the pyramids and took great pictures.
very good. saw loads from museums, to trip on the Nile, to pyramids and Giza. Long day, but worth it

Going inside was worth the entire trip! There were very few tourists here when we arrived. We didn’t have to wait for anything. Samir was wonderful and answered all our questions and gave us a better understanding about the pyramids and their history.
We really enjoyed riding camels set up by our Spring Tours guide Mohamed Abd Abdullah! The camels were tame, scruffy and alfalfa sprouts.

Simply incredible for such a monumental structure. Very expensive to visit inside so we decided to go to the smaller one. Neither of them are decorated inside, but does give you an idea of the structure.
Nothing to dislike at all. If you are a first timer then visit once. I visited all the 3 pyramids and not far away from the hotel
Perfect time to visit as there are so few tourists and no problems accessing the sites for as long you required.
Very interesting. It is almost like travelled back in time. If you imagine how old they are.........

So cool to actually lay eyes on something you have seen in pictures all your life. It is so big that you have to see it to believe it.
When we arrived there I almost had tears in my eyes of how overwhelming they were. It was my dream forever to get there!! It is amazing and I don't think you can explain in words what do you feel when you are there! Unfortunately...More
Since I was a child I dreamed about it to visit. When you stand in front of this giant structure, you are speechless and just wondering how they could build this such a long time ago. We also went inside, though there is nothing much...More
Overwhelming how such a structure can withstand the destructive forces of time and how a civilisation was able to leave such a spiritual footprint that you can only experience by being there. Even the sprawling city of Cairo at it's doorstep and the continuous persistence...More
The pyramids look just like the pictures we've all seen all our lives - but they're so overwhelmingly big it's just astounding! Everyone needs to see the real thing; the pictures cannot do justice to the magnificence of these monuments
U will be impressed by the 3 pyramids. We also took a camel ride it was amazing. We really had a blast. You should only bargain a bit about the prices of the rides-
When you visit this place immediately coming to your mind how the old Egypt civilization was looking like also you can Concludes the life features at this time
Anyone who goes to Cairo has to go here I have been many times and still like to go. The inside is very exciting however can be a bit hot and uncomfortable but not unbearable. dies not take long to get to the sarcophagus room...More

everythingEgypt is safe to visit now,I had a great time with Moustafa Egypt Tours Private Tours. It was very affordable and our guide Moustafa was Great, Very impressed with the service we have received. I take full pride in recommending Moustafa, Thank you very much
Just impressive! No surprise that it is one of the seven wonders. It is really worth the trip and certainly something to be done at least once in one's life.
The pyramids have long been on my bucket list, and while I was excited to be there, the experience was spoilt by the hawkers, and they are relentless. I was a solo female traveler, but had a personal guide and driver. Still I was grabbed...More

This is really must see attraction. I saw this on pictures many times but there is big difference when you see this in live. It can not be described!!

You can't come to Egypt without seeing what must be the most iconic monument in the world, and for good reason. It's never been surpassed. And with so few tourists around, you practically have the place to yourself. I recommend a camel ride. It's the...More
Visited the Pyramids back in 2007. Looking at it on TV is nothing compared to in real life. Absolutely monumental. Tried to stick a credit card in between the blocks - can't do it. Now that's engineering...achieved this over 5000 years ago
This review is quite late. The Keops (or Khufu) Pyramid is often referred to as the Great Pyramid of Giza. Being the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in Giza, it is well preserved and remains relatively intact. Out of the Seven Wonders of...More
The camel ride is a must so you can capture all 9 pyramids!!! I hired a tour from the Flamenco Hotel that took care of everything. Highly recommended!
Cannot go to Egypt without visiting this great pyramid. Interesting that from one angle you can overlook the pyramid while eating lunch and from another angle see endless desert.
Once in a lifetime going inside the great pyramid is a must. if for nothing else just to be able to say you have done it. Not much fun trying to squeeze past the other tourists in the narrow tunnel leading to the innermost chamber...More

We really enjoyed seeing this great architectural miracle,The Great Pyramid of Cheops the only remaining wonder of the seven wonders of the Ancient World,it has always been a lifetime dream until it came true.
We were harassed the whole time. I've never felt so vulnerable in my life. It was the worst experience ever. I just wanted to leave to get away from those thugs.

Just anyone will be left gobsmacked looking at the pyramids in real life. The sheer size of it makes you to be amazed! Definitely not to be missed!
Astonishing to see this piramide with your own eyes and not on the tv in a movie! We had a lovely english speaking guide who explained to us the story of Keops piramide as we moved along visitng the tombs. Great experience
Again a must. Ignore the traders. A magnificent erection. Flats are being built too close is the downside
It is difficult to put into words how majestic the pyramids are. Whatever you think you know is immediately changed when you stand before them.
These ruins give you an idea of 5000 years old history of pharaohs. The civilization of that era was full of surprises and mysteries. This anceint place will definitely fascinate you.
I'm sure there are larger pyramids in Luxor, but for our first experience seeing a pyramid in person, this was pretty spectacular, especially the closer we got. The city comes right up to the pyramids, then suddenly you are in the Sahara.
We had a great camel ride around the pyramids and visited all the requisite places scattered around. One hugely lucky thing was that there were virtually no tourists, The odd Egyptian class of schoolchildren aside. We are engineers working in Cairo and I can advise...More

Visiting the pyramid in a sand storm day is not a good day, but the giant man made statue is worth for having a time to admire the ancient temptation to build this wonderful place to the world!!

Excellent - go early to avoid crowds, we did and it was excellent. Try the camel riding away from the base of the pyramids.
Its a huge and beautiful pyramid.Its a must visit if you are in Egypt.Its a safe place to visit,vendors were irritating though.They would not bother you much if you are with some local person.
The pyramids are among the 7 wonders of the World, and rightly so. They are magnificent. When visiting, there will be many people asking you for camel rides, photos, and various knickknacks that detract some from the experience. If you are accompanied by a local...More

A very old pyramid, but got the feeling that everyone in the world has already seen it. The vendors are very persistent, some followed us everywhere and wouldnt go away.
So there are vendors who irritate you. Ignore them and just go see what you are there for. Taking the your inside is nice to appreciate how they built it, from the inside out. But it will be tough for people with claustrophobia and those...More

Forget the rundown gate and the annoying camel people - the Pyramids are still impressive. Truly you can feel that millenia are looking at you.
If you are reading it than I imagine a trip is to follow. Well get ready to be amazed by these living ancient wonders. Advice, take the general photos not the phony ones where you are holding the pyramid or kissing mr sphinx
Nevermind if it is not well conserved, if it is just stones over stones. Just imagine this huge thing has thousands of years, had the importance it once had, and its construction defies current imagination. Go now when there are no crowds of tourists.

Everyone should see this wonder of the ancient world at least once in their lifetime.Go now as there are few tourists and great local deals to be had.

Absolutely massive! Don't bother going inside, save that until Luxor when there is something to see inside rather than empty space. Or go inside and have your mind blown at how old a space you are in. Anything to do with this pyramid is amazing.
I was amazed that the entire pyramid was built by hand by willing workers and NOT slaves. Each stone was cut by hand and moved from the granite quarry to the location you see today.each stone was no less than 2000 tons. All done WITHOUT...More
Truly a wonder of the world, by just standing next to this pyramid you feel the greatness of the pharaos, a huge monument....must see.

Amazing place .. trip not complete till the visit has taken place. Weather was fantastic so we had amazing evening..
More was the heavy presence of guards with machine guns (MP5 and AK47s). Incredible number of armed Tourist Police, which seemed threatening and unpleasant. I am glad we went but will never set foot in Egypt again
The pyramids are great, and the camel ride with the pyramids in the background is a once in a lifetime experience.
Stunning, mind blowing how they put them together so accurately. Very quiet right now, so few tourists.
This is the biggest pyramid of them all. Just ignore the vendors because all they have is junk to sell. You must go around to the west side for the best photo shots. Here it is less crowded and you should have a photo on...More

You have to go at least once...because you can't believe how magnificent they are until you are there in person...it is pure magic!
Iconic must see sight in Giza. I didnt go inside, as there were limited visitors allowed, but just amazing to see this pyramid for real : )
It's still a marvel to see this man-made structure in all it's might. Just watch out for vendors who offer some souvenirs for sale, if you are interested, do buy them as it is their only source of livelihood.
When you think of a pyramid, you really do think of keops. Why? this is a traditional pyramid. History comes alive
Well, what else can you say - many people come to Egypt just to see this - it is huge, it is amazing, it is a wonder of the world. Just do it!

it was an amazing sight to take in. pyramids were only in history books and seeing the Keops itself with my own eyes made the experience really unbelievable. at certain angle, the pyramid looks like it is a stairway to heaven. i would definitely visit...More
It is amazing, totally going several times. It never stops amazing you and awing! Pick an early time to go, to avoid people bugging you.
Less spectacular than expected, however still magnificent. Recommend you use the facility of the horse and cart. Plenty of people, and always barter.
The biggest of all the pyramids, Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops, Keops) is the most beautiful pyramid you will see in the necropolis. Comprising of over 2,000,000 blocks of stone, each weighing about 2.5 tons, the pyramid of Khufu is a wonder within itself. When you...More
Excellent trip ... I really enjoyed it very much.. the pyramids were amazing they were having their own magic
Guys, the words "amazing or awesome" are all too often banded about, but are absolutely appropriate when you visit the Pyramids at Giza. Ok, you get hassle from the locals who are just trying to earn a crust, but if you can see past this...More
Don't pass up the opportunity to go inside! What an amazing experience to go in the last remaining wonder of the world! We are younger and had no problems but the footing and slope might cause difficulties for some. I would say try going in...More
The Pyramids of Giza are not only a landmark for Egypt (a must), but for the whole humanity! These buildings were constructed 4500 years ago, with no wheel, and method that puzzle us still to date. You must have seen maybe hundreds of pictures, but...More
I was reminded of my visit when I saw Karl Pilkington's Idiot Abroad series. When you see it on TV you don't normally see that the city of Cairo goes practically up to the edge of the pyramids. That said, they are still worth seeing...More

Everyone goes to the Pyramids. Don't waste money on a guide. Read up on the history and take a taxi early in the morning. They only sell a limited number of admission tickets each day to enter the pyramids themselves. It was 100 Egyptian Pounds...More
How could anyone possibly visit Egypt without seeing the pyramids? The great pyramid of Keops is phenomenal, and the "Solar Boat" found at the site is quite amazing. My only suggestion: don't take a tour - it's expensive and you can bring your guide book...More
The pyramids really are amazing. HOWEVER the hassle is something else, many many people surround them trying to flog you stuff. Such a shame!
The number one must see in Egypt. Find out more about the history and legend of the great pyramid before seeing it for yourself.
The pyramids are a must-see while you are in Cairo. Wear clothes that cover you and protect your skin because there is no shade and the sun makes your skin sizzle even with a strong sunscreen.
We visited the main pyramid on horse/camel from a distance. It was definitely the best way to enjoy the pyramid. It is possible to get close to the pyramid although you are not supposed to touch it. We went on a Friday, so although there...More
Piramid of giza was very tall than I expected. My husband and I rode camels for looking around piramid. It was fun,I negotiated the price before ride, but after the ride, camel driver ask triple. I just gave him twice price. I loved pramid, it...More
Simply amazing that I finally made it here. There is so much more to see than just the three pyramides. Be sure to see the light show in the evening.
To stand at the base of the Great Pyramid and to look up is just the most awesome feeling!!! This would have to be the most amazing sight in the world. To view them form further away is also fantastic. To go inside one of...More
Amazing, but that's obvious. You must go, and read up on the history and engineering involved, which will leave you in awe. Since tourism has slowed from tens of millions to hundreds of tourists per year, it's not very crowded. This also means that each...More

I was worried that pyramids will be a bit overrated, I was totally wrong. They are huge, impressive, and they make you thing - how could Egyptians built something like that thousands of years ago!? Had to be aliens ;) As impressive as they are,...More
The pyramids are open from 7-4. Get there early for the best light although note that Cairo has bad air pollution so photos will be hazy. You now get the pyramids to yourself. Buy a ticket at the entrance for 80 Egyptian Pounds per adult...More

Amazing! It is a bit sad that there are no tourists right now but we completely enjoyed having the Pyramids practically to ourselves. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring a local guide to take you. It was only $75 USD for the day and well worth...More
The Great Pyramid of Giza, the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. The greatness of this place is amazing. On the other hand, the whole place must be cleaner. It deserves better.
If you smuggle the camera inside, noone will hassle you, even if you use flash. People outside hassle you to buy crappy souvenirs and rides on smelly animals. Say no thanks, if they are rude or persistent, tell them to get lost.
The pyramid is so wonderful to see. I got there by horse. The golden coloured sand and the pyramids all in a row when you see them from the hill looking alighned are such a breathtaking view. Tv is nothing compared to the real thing.
Pyramids are only ancient wonder still standing. I am a lover of Egyptian history. I visited pyramid in 2010 and still cant get the imagine out of my eyes. Its absolutely brilliant and fantastic. Something everyone has see. You just need to be careful with...More

If in Cairo, make sure you go around this pyramid. I felt very "small", even insignificant, when facing this wonder.
I was here in spring 2009 and I think every man in this world should see this massive historical monument. It is breathtaking to stand there, you feel so small. And the view on Cairo is really nice.
I have been to Egypt many times now, sightseeing, diving and relaxing on a river cruise. Unfortunately the Egyptians are not great at protecting and preserving their monuments. We went to the main Art gallery to see the Tutten Karmun (sorry can't spell) exhibition, breathtaking...More
The pyramids are impressive from the outside. However to get there you have to essentially fight your way through hundreds of young Egyptians keen to grab your money with any pretext. Nothing much to see in the pyramid itself. The boat museum though, within that...More

The pyramids is such an amazing and huge historical monuments, who visit Egypt must visit the pyramids, the superb shape attract anyone and must ask himself how did it build !
i love the pyramid so much. it is amazing from inside and outside. i hope to visit it again. i was also show the 2 other pyramids.
I loved the pyramids but a big part was the fact that I manage to enter and went inside of one of its chambers. On the past you were allow to climb the pyramids (If you read Mark Twain stories) but now a days its...More

It's imposing, majestic and in much better condition than one would think! We walked around the entire pyramid and it took quite some time. Spend the little extra to climb the huge slabs and walk inside - it's mind boggling how the chambers were cut...More
Truly amazing.......a real thrill to see and experience. Took a camel ride as well. Loved it. There were very few tourists around so no delays.
majestic to see I'm sorry that give the impression of being abandoned to decay, perhaps because of the dire situation existing policy. Definitely a tourist attraction for a very important cultural cities such as Cairo
It is certainly not about the money but nobody so far has been able to entice me to go into the pyramid. Normally you are on a guided tour and from all I have herad the inside does not offer that much (especially compared to...More
A must to see. If you are there there's no excuse not peeking in, well except claustrophobia. Don't even think about million tons of stone over your head.
Climbing up into the burial chamber of the great pyramid is my most treasured memory of Egypt. However...I think I was very fortunate as tourist numbers were down dramatically.... the burial chamber was empty when I entered and I had a good five minutes in...More
we were in Giza on August 29 and had a great day, the camel and carreta rides to panorama were excellent the offering from the vendors were very corteous and great prices, I love to go to the pyramids
We had heard that when going here one minute you are in a built up area and can't see it then, all of a sudden, turn the corner and there it is, massively looming above you. Its not actually next to the road but its...More
Words cannot describe it. See for yourself. It's one of the seven wonders of the world. Well worth the visit, be careful of those offering to take your picture. You will pay dearly. Overall glad I went

If you travel to Egypt you must go inside of the Pyramids. Not going inside is like going to the beach and not touching the sand or going to NYC for the first time and going to time Time Square.
This is an amazing place to visit. I've seen photographs of the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx my entire life, but to see them in person was an amazing experience. I was on crutches due to a bad foot during our visit. Fortunately, we had...More
A minute past the gate and we were accosted by a “security guard” who asked to see our passports and asked questions like where we were from. Although he was in some type of uniform, we quickly realized he was touting and turned him away....More
Nice experience visiting this place with history. A bit hectic but worth every minute you spend there.
If you're going to Cairo, of course you're going to go here. You know what it looks like, you've seen pictures of the pyramids a thousand times and the good news is yes it is worth it. This is not a leaning tower of pisa,...More
we were lucky that our tour started at the Giza Plateau, so our visit to the Pyramid of Khufu was our first stop of the day, before the crowds hit. We decided not to go into the tomb, as our guide advised it would take...More
No worries on safety side, Keops and others are pretty safe to visit and go around... Take horse or camel if you go large trip but I would not pay more than EGP500 fyi...
cheops is the best .. and please do not forget to enter and see it from inside .. you will know the meaning of egyptian old engineers :D
amazing and who doesn't want to chastise the french for hitting the sphinz ? argh! what an amazing sight it is and if lucky you see it first by air as you fly in triple wow factor welcome to Egypt.
It is almost surreal to be standing at the bottom of the great Pyramid, it is an incredible building and knowing it was built by hand so many years ago makes it even more amazing. The only tricky bit can be to get inside as...More

It is completely overwhelming to the naked eye the size and the symetry of this wonder of the world.
Visit early to avoid the crowds and the heat. Hire a guide to walk you around the Great Pyramid. The Solor Boat Museum is in back of the pyramid.
I never tired of seeing the Pyramids. I always stop by when I am in Cairo. Try and go during the day when it is windy or else it's like your baking in the heat.
All of the Pyramids are awesome and amazing to see. It is hard to believe that those 2 ton stones were moved by humans!
Any visit to Cairo must include a trip to the pyramids. Well worth it at any cost, one could actually go inside the second one though the walk down, bent over, was tiring for this 68 year old. What quickly becomes annoying is the multitude...More
Amazing. It is huge and awesome. I don't know what else to say, It is very breathtaking and mesmerizing.
It feels really special to be in the resonance of the King's chamber and as there weren't big crowds, we got to stay a while inside, which I found really very special. It's a bit of a climb, but so worth it!
A must-see if you are visiting. This place just blows the mind. During the day you just wanna visit and leave, but towards evening you wanna sit around and just watch.
I was there eight times in ten years, it is so hard to take time for meditation or stay longer inside, but if you feel the place you take it with you deep in heart. Go only one time, you will be surprise.Acient exsist in...More
Wonderful experience but not for the faint hearted its a reasonable to hard climb but definitely a once in a life time experience

When walking around Gizeh, the most stories will be about Keops pyramid. It will be just one of sites, a traveler will see in Egypt, a wonderful country with great history.
It's amazing to see these wonders. Camel owners are a bit pushy but bargain hard and it's a great experience to hop on a camel! Go inside one of the pyramids if possible.
The most oft asked question is "how did they build this?" and rightly so. It is obviously one of the "must sees" for any trip to Egypt.
Accredited cars are allowed right into the area so you have less walking to do. The pyramids are steeped in history.. make sure you have a good guide from an agency.. do not pick up a local guide at the venue.. you will end up...More
Having been a regular visitor to Cairo over the years, I have always been awestruck by the size and majesty of the Pyramids. Best way to deal with the touts is to smile and say 'NO' firmly and they will move on to someone else,...More
Don’t miss this when you are in Cairo, try to arrange visit in late afternoon to avoid heat. Try also to avoid touts which are everywhere.

We enjoyed seeing a wonder of the world it was amazing to actually real the pyramids up close they are as magnificent as you'd expect
great location, perfect weather. Do not like being harassed by local to sell their junk.. but, get used to it.. they are every where in tourist place in Egypt! over 100 at the pyramids alone!
the building is impressive, as you know. The attempts to get you to take photos of camels, people etc, with the only goal to earn some money, are not so impressive as you know as well.
Fantastic place but you must haggle on price with horse/camel guide. Walking is ok but guides want you to ride to get more money. Don't be sidetracked by visits to papyrus or perfume factories. Any problems and the tourist police will sort it out but...More

To finally see the great pyramid in person after dreaming for years since childhood, I was speechless. We paid extra to go inside which was for me, an unbearably humid and claustrophobic experience. But am glad that I went in.
I went inside and will never forget the experience. It is not an easy "climb" up the dark, steep passageways. I was alone most of the way, which was great because I had to take it quite slowly. Very hot, almost stifling--not for the claustrophobic....More

of course a must see! best go with a guide and go early in the morning. We left the hotel at 8.30am and we got there in time to see everything before the mad rush starts. We left the area by 12.00pm
Stay there a while and enjoy the quickly changing colors of the Pyramids due to the changing light! Don't forget your camera!
Hard to believe that Egyptians actually built these pyramids! I think I actually subscribe to the belief that they were built by extra terrestrials!!
How can one say they have been to Egypt if they didn't see the Keops Pyramid. Somewhat overrated and so commercialized it still doesn't fail to impress you. We walked around couple of times, went inside but you cannot climb it now. Still grandiouse and...More

That place makes me wonder, how, why & when they built it, i'm tour guide but every time i go there i fell that i don't know anything about it, it is like a sea of mystery.
the Keops pyramids or the giza pyramids are one of the seven wonders still exist till today in good conditions. A man can go there and say the same word every time ( WOW ).
more than brilliant actually have a nice trip over there really, i have spent a nice time with my family there the building of the pyramid and the weather all was fantastic

Prepare for sales men talking to you while you enjoy the view. Drive to the Camels and horses away from the pyramids; they are healthier and much nicer than the ones directly at the pyramids.
So old and how did they build them? Our guide was so helpful and had so much information and facts and dates about the whole area. We asked many questions and he always knew the answer.
I love ancient history and this was definitely on my bucket list of ancient sites to visit in the world . . . so impressive!
Kinda like visiting cathedrals in Europe. Once you've seen the grand ones, others are less interesting.
I can't remember how many times I have visited the Pyramids, still not able to describe the feeling. Awesome, mighty, grand....they call you back like hypnotised. A camel ride is so much fun. Walk among the camels and the donkeys in Giza it is like...More

Was there three days before the elections started and Cairo was almost devoid of tourists. We thought it would be an advantage when we went to see the pyramids. Boy were we wrong. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, angry and...More
The pyramids ... Amazing.. The vendors very push and irriating
The three Great Pyramids located in Giza are considered as the main attraction for all tourist who visit Egypt particularly to watch them with the Sphinx. Tourist will return to their home countries with unforgettable memories.
Supurb. remarkable architecture and construction. Awsum
You cant miss this one ;) If you can get an early morning ticket to go inside, do it! Its the best experience you'll ever have. Be prepared for a low ceiling and a long steep climb, but once youre inside the kings chamber you'll...More

Very impressive. can go inside the pyramid for and extra fee,no apt for claustrophobic people. Very hot. The vendors around are unbearable , don't pay attention to them. I paid $1 to take the picture with the camel.
I loved the pyramids for me along with the Sphinx this was the hightlight of my holiday simply amazing and im so happy I did this. We were on a full day trip from Sharm so was with a escorted guide there is a lot...More
No visitor center...not maintained well, stay away from hawkers.
Amazing to visit but the tourist hasslers detract from the experience.
I was actually blown away here - no photograph actually does this, or any of Egypt's ancient monuments, justice. It is timeless and beautiful!
You just have to go and see this for yourself. Its an experience that cannot be put into words. Awesome!
fascinating and amazing -inside- feel a little claustrophobic at first - but well worth the climb
In addition to the entrance fee to Giza, you will need to be one of the 150 people in the morning who pays 100 L.E. to go inside the Great Pyramid. Go! It is worth it. The climb takes some effort, but for most people...More
Everything you expected to see and more. You will be amazed at the size of this place. You will get hassled to buy postcards or take a trip on a horse or camel but that ads to the experience. A polite no thank you two...More
The pyramids looked like they do in pictures, like old pyramids. Don't bother to pay to go inside even if you feel like you should since most likely you only visit Egypt once. It's better to visit the Valley of the Kings in Luxor to...More

just a masoleum, same of taj in agra...but a place to stay around the world...definally a top five..forget the night light show! just tourist show
when you see it all yoiu can say wowo.and feel how ancient Egyptian pepole was very powerful and strong. worth it Note: 100 L.E if you want to visit Enter it worth
Go inside to the tomb, it cost 100egp. And it is worth it.
A wonderful experience, make sure you go in the Great Pyramid, although it could be physically demanding for some. Not recommended for the elderly, frail or unfit.
We went inside. It's hot and cramped and not recommended for the overweight or unhealthy. There's not a whole lot to see but hey it feels special to have been in a sacred, sealed space that for so long only contained the sarcophagus and mummy...More
Understanding the scale and construction of the Pyramids is impressive but don't bother with going inside - there is literally nothing to see but steep stairs and small chambers. Our tour round these was like a route march - they shut at 4pm ready for...More
I did like the old pyramids but there was garbage all avor the olace
The Pyramids are a site to behold but the winds made it a challenging experience. Watch out for street sellers - they try every trick in the book. Go with a guide who comes recommended.
no matter how many time you see them it is always an awesome . humbling experience
I read all these reviews on how hard it was to walk into the pyramid but it wasn't bad at all. I am only 5'4", so maybe that's why it was so easy for me, but my boyfriend has back problems and even he didn't...More

A must see for every first time visitor to Cairo. All 3 pyramids are monumental. If you have good knees and are not claustrophobic a visit inside would be good. Beware of vendors who will charge you for taking photos of camels, donkeys etc...
Yes - it's impressive to be in the very center of this world wonder. No - it's pretty expensive for the fact that there is not a lot to see. Don't go there if you are only slightly claustrophobic. It's a step climb in a...More
I have visited the Giza Pyramids about 6 times now - they never cease to amaze me. The last time I entered the site just before closing and managed to enter Cheops Pyramid by myself - a fantastic experience! At this time most touts are...More
We just visited the Great Pyramid in March, 2012. It was a fantastic time to visit this pyramid. There was no line, only around 2 other people were in the pyramid, and we were able to be in the burial chamber by ourselves.
The Pyramids of Giza are really worth the visit BUT it is full of people who want to see you something. It becomes annoying after a while...So the best piece of advice I can give to anyone going is to learn how to say "No,...More
We were early up, before the crowds (this is a good tip) maybe before all the vendors, that is not possible, they sleep there I guess. 3 pyramids with more history and stories about them making it hard to understand the kind of people that...More
Well, It's a must see, something that you would be fascinated by looking at, got to be careful from the locals around there, asking you to ride their Camels and horses, they charge a lot of money and they do their best to rip people...More
Keops stands as a silent reminder of a great civilization
Beautiful,but beware of the vendors! Better to have arrangement before not by your selfs
Rode a camel to the pyramids on a very hot day. What an amazing experience! Pyramids are HUGE and not to be missed!

My husband and I went inside the Great Pyramid last week. There are so few tourists now that we had the King's Chamber to ourselves. It was an amazing experience to stand inside in the silence with no one else around. If you are considering...More
The immense size is something you cannot fathom in a picture. The incredible accompl;ishment of raising the stone pieces boggles the mind
The Pyramids was bulit to pery the king in it to perserve their Bodies for after life time.good place to visit.value for money
we entered this pyramid it was very airless but enjoyable don`t miss it
The last time I went to the pyramids in 2010, I had a guide. Although it was beautiful, I felt rushed. This time, I thought I would go on my own, spend some time, and take in their beauty. DON'T EVER DO THIS. During my...More
When you are driving and suddenly see your first view of a pyramid its something you will never forget. Even better then i imagined it would be
i liked pyramid so so much it was so nice and the driver was very good and speak english good
riding camel is awesome by cheops pyramid desert>and making some good pictures
you have to go inside the pyramids, and you have to ride camel to feel you are in Egypt
With no crowds, the pyramids were even more impressive.

This is the reason you travel to Egypt. It was amazing. The pyramids are even bigger than you could imagine. We spent lots of time around them on all sides and took a camel ride around the back way. We also did the climb inside...More
If you visit Cairo you must visit the pyramids in Giza The sheer size and scale of them when you consider how old they are is awe inspiring. Please be careful though as there are numerous pick pockets and con artists on site don't get...More
It was great just watch out for vendors who try to take advantage of tourists.
Make sure you buy the ticket to walk right into the central burial chamber. A unique experience.
I loved going inside. I thought you go up but actually you go down. It's fascinating all that history.
The splendour of this place leaves one in awe. It is fascinating when one realizes how old this thing really is.
I regret not bringing the children when they were younger.....Visiting the pyramids was like meeting your childhood stories in person... awe inspiring and most humbling... Our English speaking tour guide Amany Abbas (mob. [--]) made the experience so special, making the stones and sands come...More
one of the most places u should go very nice and important specially when u take a ride with horse
Awe inspiring! The secrets of the ages! Should be on everyone's bucket list! PS : Don't climb on them. Be respectful, you are a guest in another country!
You would think that the people responsible for the stewardship of the Great Pyramids would want to make the visiting a pleasant experience for visitors. Instead they allow the most obnoxious touts have free range to pester visitors. Many will not take no for an...More

One of the things you just have to see at least once in your life! shame about the touts/hustlers (they call themselves guides)
If you like pyramids,then this is just another one
I suppose about everyone knows about the Great Pyramid, but seeing it before your very eyes raising on the plateau of Gizeh is a stunning experience. The interior is also absolutely worth the visit, even at a hefty extra 100 Egyptian pounds, because of the...More
don't miss it,you must visit Egypt its so safe,people are so friendly and helpfull
This is one of the three Pyramids of Giza on the Giza Plateau. The site is incredible and has an amazing view of the desert and the city of Cairo. In the morning with very little tourists the site is calming and peaceful. Well worth...More
The biggest pyramid, built by the son of Djoser, who built the step pyramid. It took between 100 - 200,000 men to build, over 20 years! It must have been beautiful in its day, and now it is still remarkable to say the least.
Visiting the pyramids at Giza was a dream come true. The majestic monuments take your breath away...it was indeed a very humbling experience. Also went to the light and sound show..Omar Sharif's voice is mesmerizing as are the graphics...Make it a point to go to...More
i buy a tour from The hostel to visit the pyramids and it was a mazing
Completely awe inspiring. After experiencing Egypt today it is hard to imagine how these great structures were put together.
The relentless street vendor scam artists are horrible... constant in your face buy buy buy - you can't get 2 seconds to just look around without someone pushing something or asking for money...

Pictures can not do justice to the pyramids. If you travel to Egypt Cairo is a must to see this site. Just be warned about the vendors who do not know what no means. Also the men on camels who will force their way into...More
There was hardly a soul around thats when you see it
you can feel the ancient world all around you here. must be checked off your life list
If you are on a spiritual pilramage to Egypt time in the Kings Chamber is a must. The energy there is so pure.
Going into the King's chamber at the top of the Pyramid and making many wishes for a long time while touching the sarcophagus is the most important event in one's lifetime. Tremendous energy from the universe makes it possible with the pyramid pointing up to...More
The only remaining of the 7 wonders of the ancient world is a must. You have to pay extra to enter the pyramid but the experience is worth every cent. Unfortunately guides are not allowed inside but the way up is great fun!
This Pyramid was in walking distance from my hotel (The Great Pyramid Hotel) so for the week that I was in Cairo, I visited this site often. Taxi drivers will try to charge you 120LE or $30US to get there but it's a very enjoyable...More
I first visited this and went inside in January 1966, when it was a 45 minute drive from a city with less than 4 million inhabitants. Many things have changed, but not this stone monument. You've read about it in your high school history books,...More
